- In Arabidopsis, it is well-known that a pulse of full-spectrum light during the night (in an otherwise long night) will induce flowering. This suggests that plants measure the length of night, and not the length of day. If the pulse of light during the night was blue light instead of full spectrum light, what would be the flowering time response of a plant with a knockout in cry2 (relative to wild type in the same conditions)?

- Drosophila females homozygous for loss-of-functionmutations in the gene aubergine are sterile. RNA-Seqexperiments show that in the ovaries of these females,the levels of RNAs for many kinds of transposable elements are more than 10× higher than in wild-type ovaries. The aubergine gene encodes a Piwi-family protein.a. Why do you think these females are sterile?b. Piwi proteins interact with piRNAs that are transcribed from piRNA gene clusters. Given that thelevels of many kinds of TEs are elevated in mutantovaries, what kinds of DNA sequences do youthink are located in these clusters?c. Many investigators think of piRNAs as a kind ofdefensive mechanism that protects organisms fromthe effects of new transposable elements that mightbe introduced into genomes, for example fromother species.

- In a tissue engineering experiment, stem cells are grown in a circular dish (diameter = 3 cm) with a thin layer of cell culture media covering the cells. It is expected that these cells will differentiate when exposed a new differentiation factor (small molecule) at a surface concentration of 50 ng/cm? During the experiment, 1 ug of the factor is placed at the center of the dish. Assume the diffusivity of the factor in cell culture media is 1 x 10^-5 cm^2/s. A. How long does it take before the cells 1 cm from the center of the dish begin to differentiate? B. Do you expect the cells at the edge of the dish differentiate?
