In addition to Tc1, the C. elegans genome contains otherfamilies of DNA transposons such as Tc2, Tc3, Tc4, andTc5. Like Tc1, their transposition is repressed in thegerm line but not in somatic cells. Predict the behaviorof these elements in the mutant strains where Tc1 is nolonger repressed due to mutations in the RNAi pathway.Justify your answer.
When 1 million cells of a culture of haploid yeastcarrying a met− auxotrophic mutation were plated onpetri plates lacking methionine (Met), five coloniesgrew. You would expect cells in which the originalmet− mutation was reversed (by a base change back tothe original sequence) would grow on the media lackingmethionine, but some of these apparent reversions couldbe due to a mutation in a different gene that somehowsuppresses the original met− mutations. How wouldyou be able to determine if the mutations in your fivecolonies were due either to a precise reversion of theoriginal met− mutation or to the generation of a suppressor mutation in a gene on another chromosome?

Trinucleotide repeat expansions (TNREs) are associated with severaldifferent human inherited diseases. Certain types of TNREsproduce a long stretch of the amino acid glutamine within theencoded protein. When a TNRE exerts its detrimental effect byproducing a glutamine stretch, are the following statements true orfalse?A. The TNRE is within the coding sequence of the gene.B. The TNRE prevents RNA polymerase from transcribing thegene properly.C. The trinucleotide sequence is CAG.D. The trinucleotide sequence is CCG.
Six strains of E. coli (mutants 1–6) that had one of thefollowing mutations (i–vi) affecting the lac operonwere isolated.i. deletion of lacYii. ocmutationiii. missense mutation in lacZiv. inversion of the lac operon (but not an inversion ofthe lacI gene)v. superrepressor mutationvi. inversion of lacZ, Y, and A but not lacI, P, oa. Which of these mutations would prevent the strainfrom utilizing lactose?b. The entire lac operon (including the lacI gene andits promoter) from each of the six E. coli strainswas cloned into a plasmid vector containing an ampicillin resistance gene. Each recombinant plasmidwas transformed into each of the six strains to create partial diploids. In analysis of these strains, mutant 1 was found to carry a deletion of lacY, so thisstrain corresponds to mutation i in the list above.Which of the other types of mutations would be expected to complement mutant 1 in these partial diploids so as to allow lactose utilization?c. In part (b), each strain was plated on…

Of all the genes in the human genome, the ones withthe most characterized Alu insertions are those thatcause hemophilia, including several insertions in thefactor VIII and factor IX genes. Based on this fact, yourcolleague hypothesizes that the Alu element prefers toinsert into these genes. Do you agree? What other reason can you provide that also explains these data?
Researchers have successfully used gene therapy toameliorate some human genetic diseases by adding anormal gene copy to cells whose genomes originallyhad only nonfunctional mutant copies of that gene.For example, a form of blindness due to the lack of asingle protein called RPE65 has been reversed byintroduction of a normal RPE65 gene to cells of theretina of adults.a. The success of this gene therapy approach providesus with clues about the role of the RPE65 proteinin the retina. Do you think that RPE65 is neededfor the proper development of the human eye?b. Can you see a potential difficulty in applying this genetherapy approach for diseases like microcephaly?
You identify a proflavin-generated allele of a genethat produces a 110-amino acid polypeptide ratherthan the usual 157-amino acid protein. After subjectingthis mutant allele to extensive proflavin mutagenesis,you are able to find a number of intragenic suppressorslocated in the part of the gene between the sequencesencoding the N terminus of the protein and the originalmutation, but no suppressors located in the regionbetween the original mutation and the sequencesencoding the usual C terminus of the protein. Whydo you think this is the case?
An investigator was interested in studying UAG nonsense suppressor mutations in bacteria. In one speciesof bacteria, she was able to select two different mutants of this type, one in a tRNATyr gene and the otherin a tRNAGln gene, but in a second species, she wasnot able to obtain any such nonsense suppressor mutations, even after very extensive effort. What couldexplain the difference between the two species?
After irradiating wild-type cells of Neurospora (a haploid fungus), a geneticist finds two leucine-requiringauxotrophic mutants. He combines the two mutants ina heterokaryon and discovers that the heterokaryon isprototrophic.a. Were the mutations in the two auxotrophs in the samegene in the pathway for synthesizing leucine or in twodifferent genes in that pathway? Explain.b. Write the genotype of the two strains according toyour model.c. What progeny and in what proportions would youpredict from crossing the two auxotrophic mutants?(Assume independent assortment.)
