Concept explainers

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.

Textbook Question

Chapter 13, Problem 34P

In Neurospora, his2 mutants require the amino acid histidine for growth, and lys4 mutants require the amino acid lysine. The two genes are on the same arm of the same chromosome, in the order

centromere - his2 - lys4.

A his2 mutant is mated with a lys4 mutant. Draw all of the possible ordered asci that could result from meioses in which the following events occurred, accounting for the nutritional requirements for each ascospore. Ascospores without any copy of a chromosome will abort and die, turning white in the process.

a.	A single crossover between the centromere and his2
b.	A single crossover between his2 and lys4
c.	Nondisjunction during the first meiotic division
d.	Nondisjunction during the second meiotic division
e.	A single crossover between the centromere and his2, followed by nondisjunction during the first meiotic division
f.	A single crossover between his2 and lys4, followed by nondisjunction during the first meiotic division

4. This question focuses on entrainment. a. What is entrainment? b. What environmental cues are involved in entrainment, and which one is most influential? c. Why is entrainment necessary? d. Assuming that a flash of darkness is an effective zeitgeber, what impact on circadian rhythms would you expect to result from an event such as the 2024 solar eclipse (assume it was viewed from Carbondale IL, where totality occurred at about 2 pm)? Explain your reasoning. You may wish to consult this phase response diagram. Phase Shift (Hours) Delay Zone Advance Zone Dawn Mid-day Dusk Night Dawn Time of Light Stimulus e. Finally, give a real-world example of how knowledge of circadian rhythms and entrainment has implications for human health and wellbeing or conservation biology. This example could be from your reading or from things discussed in class.
