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.

- Here are schematic diagrams of mutant Drosophila larvae. The left side of each pair shows a wild-type larva, with gray boxes showing the sections that are missing in the mutant larva. Which type of gene is defective in each larva: a gap gene, a pair-rule gene, or a segment-polarity gene?arrow_forwardSuppose a researcher has three different Drosophila strains that have mutations in the bicoid gene called bicoid-A, bicoid-B, and bicoid-C; the wild type is designated bicoid +. To study these mutations, phenotypically normal female flies that are homozygous for the given bicoid mutation were obtained, and their oocytes were analyzed using a Northern blot to determine the size and/or amount of the bicoid mRNA and in situ hybridization to determine the bicoid mRNA location within the oocyte. A wild-type strain was also analyzed as a control. In both cases, the probe was complementary to the bicoid mRNA and the results are shown below. (Anterior is on the left; posterior is on the right.)

She has identified two mutant phenotypes of interest: bent wings (be), which are recessive to the wild-type straight wings (be+), and apterous (ap) mutants (which are wingless). The apallele is recessive to the wild-type allele (ap+), which allows wings to develop. If a homozygous bent-winged fly (which possesses the normal allele of apterous) is crossed with a homozygous wingless fly (which possesses the normal allele of bent wings), what phenotypic ratio would you expect to observe in the F2 generation of this cross? a) Please indicate the ratio, including the genotypes and phenotypes of all phenotypic classes. Phenotype: Genotype(s) corresponding to this phenotype Phenotypic ratio: (Be sure to NAME the classes in the ratio). B) Please NAME and DEFINE the type of gene interaction illustrated in this example.arrow_forward
- The easily observed external structures in insects, such as different pairs of legs, antennae, and wings form from imaginal discs. a.) How is the identity of the different Drosophila imaginal discs established in the embryo—for example, how is it determined whether a disc will form a wing, a leg, or some other structure? b.) Dominant mutants in the gene Antennapedia result in fore legs forming in the location where antennae are expected. How does this mutant phenotype illustrate your response to Part a?arrow_forwardOur understanding of maternal effect genes has been greatly aided by their identification in experimental organisms such as Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans. In experimental organisms with a short generation time, geneticists have successfully searched for mutant alleles that prevent the normal process of embryonic development. In many cases, the offspring die at early embryonic or larval stages. These are called maternal effect lethal alleles. How would a researcher identify a mutation that produced a recessive maternal effect lethal allele?arrow_forwardIn 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_forward
- Interested in exploring the genetic pathways that lead to neurological issues, you want to see if recessive mutations which generate too many neurons (tm) in flies - which many causes autistic like symptoms are in the same gene as mutations that generate too few neurons (tf) - intellectual diabilities. You cross a true-breeding homozygous tm/tm fly to a homozygous too few neuron fly tf/tf. What phenotype in the progeny would tell these mutations are in different genes?arrow_forwardIn drosophila, a recessive mutation (m-) of a maternal effect gene results in an abnormal phenotype wherein homozygous (m-m-) females produce eggs that cannot support embryonic development. Homozygous (m-m-) males, however, can still produce viable sperm. (A) Using m+ to denote a normal gene, determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the F1s produce by a cross between a heterozygous female and a recessive male. (B) From the offspring, backcross the recessive female with the paternal strain. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the F2s? (C) If m-m- females produce useless eggs, then how are m-m- produced?arrow_forwardFlies homozygous for recessive null mutations in thesevenless (sev) or bride-of-sevenless (boss) genes have the same mutant phenotype: Every ommatidium(facet) in their eyes lacks photoreceptor cell 7 (R7).The R7 cells enable flies to detect UV light.a. Given that flies normally move toward light, suggest a screening method that would enable you toidentify mutations in additional genes required forR7 determination.b. Would you be able to recover mutations in everygene required for R7 development with yourmethod? Explain.c. How could you tell whether any of the new mutationsyou found in your screen are alleles of sev or boss?d. Suppose you found one recessive mutant allele ofa gene not previously known to be involved in eyedevelopment. How could you use this allele in anew mutagenesis screen to find additional allelesof this gene? Why might you want additional mutant alleles to study the process?arrow_forward
- You are studying a plant with tissue comprising both green and white sectors. You wish to decide whether this phenomenon is due (1) to a chloroplast mutation of the type considered in this chapter or (2) to a dominant nuclear mutation that inhibits chlorophyll production and is present only in certain tissue layers of the plant as a mosaic. Outline the experimental approach that you would use to resolve this problem.arrow_forwardA maternal effect gene in Drosophila, called torso, is found as a recessive allele that prevents the correct development of anterior- and posterior-most structures. A wild-type (homozygous) male iscrossed to a female of unknown genotype. This mating produces 100% larva that are missing theiranterior- and posterior-most structures and therefore die during early development. What is the genotype and phenotype of the female fly in this cross? What are the genotypes andphenotypes of the female fly’s parents? Show COMPLETE cross.

Using m+ todenote a normal gene, determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the F1s produce by a crossbetween a heterozygous female and a recessive male.
