Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 7P
Using animal models of human diseases can lead to insights into the cellular and genetic bases of the diseases. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the consequence of an X-linked recessive allele.
How would you make a mouse model of DMD?
How would you make a Drosophila model of DMD?

For the first experiment ever on Drosophila mutations. Answer the following questions.
a. What is the title of the first published paper explained the experiment and what is the name of the Author?
b. What is the first mutation discovered in Drosophila?
c. Explain the changes in the Drosophila yellow mutant (Y)compared to wild type.
provide one example from the Drosophila AP toolkit for "Toolkit genes can be classified according to the phenotypes caused by their mutation. Similar mutant phenotypes often reflect genes that function in a single developmental pathway. Distinct pathways exist for the generation of body axes, for example, and for the formation and identity of fields."
In addition to C. elegans and Drosophila, Zebrafish are also another model organism - and have a spine. We're interested in two phenotypes, a curved spine and a gene that
causes skin tumors to form on the fish's skin. We'd like to know if we could use the curved spine as an indicator if a fish may develop tumors (if the genes are linked). We'll
assume that each of these traits is controlled by a single gene where:
a curved spine is the result of a dominant allele S (and a normal spine is the result of recessive alleless),
⚫ and tumor growth is the result of a recessive allele t (and no tumor growths are a dominant T allele).
A testcross is performed with a fish that is heterozygous for both genes and the resulting progeny are given below.

- In Drosophila subobscura, the presence of a recessive gene called grandchildless (gs) causes the offspring of homozygous females, but not those of homozygous males, to be sterile. Can you offer an explanation as to why females and not males are affected by the mutant gene?arrow_forwardCertain genes determine sex, fertility, and viability in Drosophila, and mutations in these genes affect the two sexes differently. Classify the descriptions below based on their occurrence in XY or XX flies. Some descriptions may be used in both categories. The expressed form of Dsx activates maleness genes and represses femaleness genes. XY XX Null mutations in the dsx gene result in an intersex phenotype. Loss-of-function mutations in the tra gene have no effect on phenotype. Sxl is expressed in early embryogenesis from the establishment promoter. Flies that produce Fru-M in brain cells from a transgene perform a mating dance and specifically court females. Loss-of-function mutations in the fru gene result in flies who court both males and females. Sxl regulates splicing of its own RNA to produce a functional protein. The expressed form of Dsx activates femaleness genes and represses maleness genes. Loss-of-function mutations in the Sxl gene have no effect on phenotype. Resetarrow_forwardDuchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a disease that manifests in muscle weakness. It exhibits X-linked recessive inheritance pattern. The dystrophin gene is large and can have many different mutations along the DNA. From the following mutations between the gene sequence (DNA template strand) of a healthy male and an affected brother determine if they would affect the production of mRNA or the sequence of the protein. Base your analysis on the position of the mutation in the transcription unit, and the impact of the change on the codons. Mutation 1: Position -6 Healthy individual A Affected brother C Group of answer choices A. Normal mRNA, normal protein B. No mRNA produced (promoter affected) C. Abnormal mRNA, affected protein D. Normal mRNA, affected protein Base your analysis on the position of the mutation in the transcription unit, and the impact of the change on the codons.arrow_forward

- Researchers have exploited Minute mutations in orderto study the phenotypes associated with recessive lethal mutations (l−) that decrease the rate of cell divisionand thus make only very tiny homozygous mutant clones that are difficult to analyze. Many differentstrains of Drosophila carry dominant loss-of-functionMinute (M) mutations in a variety of genes encodingribosomal protein subunits. The M genes are haploinsufficient; flies with only one wild-type M+ gene copyhave a slower pace of cell division, and thus prolongeddevelopment and subtle morphological abnormalities.To circumvent the tiny clone problem, researchersgenerate GFP-marked homozygous l−/ l− clones thatare also M+/ M+, in flies that are l−/ l+ and M−/ M+.The loss of the Minute mutation only in cells withinthe clone gives the l−/ l− cells a growth advantageover their neighbors, enabling the mutant clone togrow large enough to study.

You start considering two of those mutants that you call c and d.
