Suppose you want to determine whether a particulargene X is important for specification of the pharynx,but mutations in this same gene disrupt embryonicdevelopment well before pharyngeal structures appear.How could you use myo-2::GFP, the myo-2 promoter,the DNA sequence of gene X, and your knowledge ofRNA interference (RNAi) to generate worms that lackgene X expression in the pharynx but express gene Xin all other tissues in which it is expressed in wildtype C. elegans?

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
