6. A diploid strain of yeast was made by mating a haploidstrain with a genotype w−, x−, y−, and z− with a haploidstrain of opposite mating type that is wild type for thesefour genes. The diploid strain was phenotypically wildtype. Four different X-ray-induced diploid mutantswith the following phenotypes were produced fromthis diploid yeast strain. Assume a single new mutation is present in each strain.Strain 1 w− x+ y− z+Strain 2 w+ x− y− z−Strain 3 w− x+ y− z−Strain 4 w− x+ y+ z+When these mutant diploid strains of yeast go throughmeiosis, each ascus is found to contain only two viablehaploid spores.a. What kind of mutations were induced by X-rays tomake the listed diploid strains?b. Why did two spores in each ascus die?

6a. C. elegans display a very characteristic sinusoidal movement, like a snake slithering. Imagine you complete a genetic screen in C. elegans for immobile worms, that lack this ability to move. These sorts of mutants belong to a class of mutants called "unc" mutants, which stands for "uncoordinated." Unc mutants exhibit some degree of paralysis from minor to severe, and they are typically not lethal. Imagine you create a recessive mutation in the unc-1 gene, through a mutagenesis. You initially collect a heterozygote: unc-1(-)/+ ( unc-1(-) is the loss-of-function mutation and “+” represents the wild type allele at that gene). You allow the C.elegans mutant to self-fertilize. What percentage of the offspring would now be homozygous for the mutation? 6b. Say you've only been working with your unc-1(-) mutant at 26 degrees Celsius, the restrictive condition. What experiment would you do and what result would expect if the mutant you were dealing with was temperature-sensitive?
5. Consider the following examples that include both haploids and partial diploids and explain in each scenario a. whether the repressor can bind and regulate expression and b. whether or not the lac operon is expressed.

Answer the following correctly. Designer Genes Work (This is all about Applications of Recombinant DNA). Illustrate Designer genes using this information: The Arctic apple is a fruit engineered to resist browning after being cut. Currently they are only available in the US – in golden, fuji and gala varieties – where they have been given Food and Drug Administration approval. If approved in Europe, they would have to be labelled as genetically modified. The manufacturers claim the main benefit is to help cut down on food waste. And based on the following: a. Identify a special trait. b. Identify a source organism. c. Identify a target organism d. Identify the modified/added trait.
