What genetic model of an organism is the most ideal? And why is it an ideal model in genetics?
Why are fruit flies considered a model genetic organism? Would humans fit this description?
You are working in the lab with strains of Drosophila that have either normal legs or abnormally short legs and you are studying the gene responsible. You know that normal legs are dominant to short legs. You come across a misplaced fly with normal legs, but you are not sure of his genetic background and you want to keep him in your experiments.
(Without doing a molecular analysis), How could you figure out whether he was heterozygous or homozygous for the leg gene that you are studying? (Describe what you would do and how the results would answer the question.)
What is the procedure you described above called?

- What percentage of the DNA in the genome actually corresponds to genes? How much is actually protein-coding exons? What makes up the rest?arrow_forwardIn an electrophoretic gel across which is applied a powerful electrical alternating pulsed field, the DNA of the haploid fungus Neurospora crassa (n = 7) moves slowly but eventually forms seven bands, which represent DNA fractions that are of different sizes and hence have moved at different speeds. These bands are presumed to be the seven chromosomes. How would you show which band corresponds to which chromosome?arrow_forwardIt is possible to take the DNA of a gene from any source and place it on a chromosome in the nucleus of a yeast cell. When you take DNA of a human gene and put it into a yeast cell chromosome, the yeast cell can synthesize the human protein. However, when you remove the DNA for a gene normally present on yeast mitochondrial chromosomes and put it on a yeast chromosome in the nucleus, the yeast cell cannot synthesize the correct protein, even though the gene comes from the same organism. Explain. What would you need to do to ensure that such a yeast cell could make the correct protein?arrow_forward
- A yeast strain with a mutant spo11- allele has been isolated. The mutant allele is nonfunctional; it makes no spo11 protein. What do you suppose is the phenotype of this mutant strain?arrow_forwardYou are working with two different yeast cultures to study their genetics. But, you are not sure what the mating type of either of the yeast cultures is. (As a reminder, yeast mating types are either a or alpha). As a test, you mix the two cultures together and then observe them under a microscope. If this is the image that you see, what can you conclude about the mating types of the yeast? Explain your answer, including what type of cell morphology you see on this microscope slide.arrow_forwardWhy The Arrangement of Genesin the Genome Is Not Uniform?arrow_forward

The haploid human genome is distributed on autosomes 1-22 and X and Y (so, 24 chromosomes). The haploid human genome is distributed on the homologous pairs of autosomes 1-22 and X and Y (so, 46 chromosomes). The haploid human genome is distributed on a single chromosome (so, 1 chromosome). The haploid human genome is distributed on one pair of homologous chromosomes (so, 2 chromosomes).arrow_forwardHumans and many other complex organisms are diploid, possessing two sets of genes, one inherited from the mother and one from the father. However, a number of eukaryotic organisms spend most of their life cycles in a haploid state. Many of these eukaryotes, such as Neurospora and yeast, still undergo meiosis and sexual reproduction, but most of the cells that make up the organism are haploid. Considering that haploid organisms are fully capable of sexual reproduction and generating genetic variation, why are most complex eukaryotes diploid? In other words, what might be the evolutionary advantage of existing in a diploid state instead of a haploid state? And why might a few organisms, such as Neurospora and yeast, exist as haploids?arrow_forward

A MATa lys5 ADE1 URA2 haploid was mated to a MATA LYS5 ade1 ura2 haploid to make a triply heterozygous diploid. This diploid was put through meiosis, 100 tetrads were dissected and the spore colonies transferred to medium lacking either lysine, adenine or uracil to determine which spores were prototrophic or auxotrophic for those nutrients.
