Chapter 26, Problem 2QSDC
Summary Introduction
To review:
Whether the genes for early development or the genes for cell differentiation will be identified first, in case of identifying the genes that are required for the early development of chicken.
Introduction:
Drosophila belongs to the family Drosophilidae and is a type of fly. Its common name is vinegar fly or common fruit fly. The Drosophila melanogaster is a species that has extensive use in physiology, life history evolution, genetics, and microbial pathogenesis.

What changes, if any, would you predict would occur in the pigmentation of Drosophila melanogaster with increased global warming? What type of genetic changes would you expect to see? Be as specific as you can.
provide one example from the Drosophila AP toolkit for "Toolkit genes can be classified according to the phenotypes caused by their mutation. Similar mutant phenotypes often reflect genes that function in a single developmental pathway. Distinct pathways exist for the generation of body axes, for example, and for the formation and identity of fields."
You are interested in studying position effect variegation in Drosophila using the chromosome depicted below:
Deactivation of the w+ gene gives a white eye phenotype and deactivation of the rst+ gene gives a rough eye
phenotype; the normal phenotypes are red and smooth. Because the rst+ and w+ genes have now been placed
close to a heterochromatic domain, some sections (or sectors) of the eye display mutant phenotypes due to gene
deactivation while others display the normal, wild type phenotype. Which phenotype would you not expect to see
rst w
Inverted X chromosome
white smooth eye sectors
white rough eye sectors
red smooth eye sectors
red rough eye sectors

- You have identified a Drosophila gene that is expressed exclusively in the odd-numbered "stripes" in the cellular blastoderm. Assuming that this gene is not redundant, what would be the most likely phenotype cause by a loss-of-function mutation in this gene? an embryo missing odd numbered segments an adult fly with a second pair of wings instead of halteres an embryo with two anterior ends an embryo missing even-numbered segments an embryo missing larval segments 3-10arrow_forwardHere are schematic diagrams of mutant Drosophila larvae.

- In plants, floral organs develop from concentric rings of tissue called whorls. Beginning from the most outside ring, whorl 1 develops into sepals, whorl 2 develops into petals, whorl 3 develops into stamens, and whorl 4 develops into carpels. Analogous to the homeotic mutants of Drosophila, recessive mutations were found in genes that encode transcription factors. These mutants change the organ identity of a given whorl to the identity of a different whorl. The following table shows the mutant phenotypes caused by various floral organ mutations found in the genetic model plant, Arabidopsis. Genotype wild-type ap2 lap2 ap3 lap3 ag lag sepals carpels sepals sepals whorls 2 and 3 whorls 3 and 4 whorls 1 and 2 whorls 2 and 4 All four whorls 1 petals stamens sepals petals Based on the table above, which whorls require a functional AG gene. 2 Whorl stamens stamens carpels petals 3 carpels carpels carpels sepals 4arrow_forwardFollowing a mutagenesis experiment to identify novel genes affecting the circadian clock in Drosophila melanogaster you discover several mutants. You start considering two of those mutants that you call c and d. The two homozygous c/c and d/d are arrhythmic (arrhythmic is the definition of their phenotype), whereas the two heterozygous C/c and D/d are rhythmic (rhythmic is the definition of their phenotype) with a 24h period. You make two true-breeding stocks: stock 3 homozygous for c and stock 4 homozygous for d. You cross them in both directions and in both cases you observe complementation with no difference between males and females.
