Chapter 10.1, Problem 1I

(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The genotype and phenotype of the diploid Neurospora cells if the mutation occurred on the same gene in these two strains.

Introduction: Haploid cells are the cells containing a single set of chromosomes. The fusion of haploid cells forms diploid cells having twice the number of chromosomes. Mutation in the gene causes the knockout of the gene, which means the gene becomes non-functional, and it fails to form an enzyme.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The genotype and phenotype of the diploid Neurospora cells, if the mutation occurred on the different genes in these two strains. The strains were unable to synthesize arginine.

Introduction: Mutation in a particular gene ceases the expression of a particular enzyme for which it codes. This mutation does not impact other genes. The rest of the genes are expressing and coding for a specific enzyme. Two cells with a mutation on different genes will have two different enzymes non-functional.

The Snapdragon is a popular garden flower that comes in a variety of colours, including red, yellow, and orange. The genotypes and associated phenotypes for some of these flowers are as follows: aabb: yellow AABB, AABb, AaBb, and AaBB: red AAbb and Aabb: orange aaBB: yellow aaBb: ? Based on this information, what would the phenotype of a Snapdragon with the genotype aaBb be and why?   Question 21 options:   orange because A is epistatic to B   yellow because A is epistatic to B   red because B is epistatic to A   orange because B is epistatic to A   red because A is epistatic to B   yellow because B is epistatic to A
A sample of blood was taken from the above individual and prepared for haemoglobin analysis. However, when water was added the cells did not lyse and looked normal in size and shape. The technician suspected that they had may have made an error in the protocol – what is the most likely explanation?   The cell membranes are more resistant than normal.   An isotonic solution had been added instead of water.   A solution of 0.1 M NaCl had been added instead of water.   Not enough water had been added to the red blood cell pellet.   The man had sickle-cell anaemia.
