a.

Summary Introduction

To determine:  The interpretation  of the results from the progeny number and the probable genotypes.

Introduction: The mutation is the change in the nucleotide sequence of the gene, which results in either the formation of a defective protein or no protein at all. The mutation can also alter the regulation of certain genes leading to their hyperactivity or hypoactivity..

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine:  The proportion of testcross progeny that will have no trichomes from the cross between original mutant A and original mutant B.

Introduction: The genotype is the genetic constitution of the organism while the phenotype is the external characters visible in an organism.

You are a developmental geneticist studying flowering time variation in Arabidopsis. You perform a mutagenesis screen to identify mutants in the photoperiod pathway. You conduct the screen and find two different plants that show the same mutant phenotype. You then use a complementation test. What is the predicted outcome of this test if both phenotypes are caused by mutations in separate genes? recover the wild type phenotype overexpress the gene O recover the mutant phenotype
To understand the genetic basis of locomotion in the diploid nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, recessive mutations were obtained, all making the worm “wiggle” ineffectually instead of moving with its usual smooth gliding motion. These mutations presumably affect the nervous or muscle systems. Twelve homozygous mutants were intercrossed, and the F1 hybrids were examined to see if they wiggled. The results were as follows, where a plus sign means that the F1 hybrid was wild type (gliding) and “w” means that the hybrid wiggled.a. Explain what this experiment was designed to test. b. Use this reasoning to assign genotypes to all 12 mutants. c. Explain why the phenotype of the F1 hybrids between mutants 1 and 2 differed from that of the hybrids between mutants 1 and 5
For the first experiment ever on Drosophila mutations. Answer the following questions. a. What is the title of the first published paper explained the experiment and what is the name of the Author? b. What is the first mutation discovered in Drosophila? c. Explain the changes in the Drosophila yellow mutant (Y)compared to wild type.
