Please explain
The p53 protein was discovered through its association with SV40 T antigen and assumed initially to be an oncoprotein.
a. What is the current consensus as the function of p53 and what evidence caused this change in view?
b. How does the effect of mutation in the p53 gene differ from the effect of mutation in the RB gene what is the molecular basis for this difference ?
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)? Explain.

- 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. Explainarrow_forwardConcerning the Tools of Genetics Box Analysis ofCell-Cycle Mutants in Yeast:a. Describe how you would use replica plating ofmutagenized, haploid yeast cells to identifytemperature-sensitive (ts) mutations in essentialgenes needed for yeast growth and survival.b. Among the many ts mutations you found in part(a), how would you distinguish mutations in genesneeded for cell-cycle progression from those ingenes needed for other aspects of the life of yeasts?c. If you had a large collection of yeast cell-cyclemutants, how would you determine which of themutations are in the same gene and which are indifferent genes?arrow_forwardIn 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? Justify your answer with calculations.arrow_forward
- How can one most effectively silence the myofilament gene unc-22 in C. elegans to produce the twitching phenotype? O A. Screen thousands of strains for a spontaneous unc-22 mutation O B. Soak worms in mutagenic solutions of EMS and screen the progeny OC. Inject antisense strands of unc-22 RNA into worm ovaries, which will be taken up by germ line cells and expressed in progeny O D. Inject a high dose of unc-22 MRNA into worm ovaries, which will be taken up by germ line cells and expressed in progeny O E. Culture worms with E. coli transformed with a plasmid that codes for a dsRNA unc-22 constructarrow_forwardIn a haploid, a nonsense suppressor su1 acts on mutation1 but not on mutation 2 or 3 of gene P. An unlinked nonsense suppressor su2 works on P mutation 2 but not on 1or 3. Explain this pattern of suppression in regard to thenature of the mutations and the suppressors.arrow_forwarda. Would you expect a cell to continue or to stopdividing at a nonpermissive high temperature if itis a temperature-sensitive Ras mutant whose protein product is fixed in the GTP-bound form atnonpermissive temperature?b. What would you expect if you had a temperaturesensitive mutant in which the Ras protein staysin the GDP-bound form at high temperature?arrow_forward
- Explain about how X chromosome inactivation takes place in mammals at the chromosomal and molecular level. B. What genes are involved in inactivating a human X chromosome? . C. What role does X chromosome-specific inactivating transcript --XIST-- non coding RNA play in the inactivation of the human X chromosome.arrow_forwardImagine a scenario in which prenatal testing of a human female fetus indicates that the baby will have a normal XX karyotype but is heterozygous for a mutation that inactivates the Xist promoter. Allele “Xr” represents the mutated version of the Xist promoter, and “XR” represents the normal version of the Xist promoter. How will this mutation affect the process of X inactivation?A. "X inactivation will still be random with both mutant and normal X chromosomes being randomly inactivated" B. "The chromosome with the mutant Xist promoter will always be active" C. "The chromosome with the mutant Xist promoter will always be inactivated" D. "The normal X chromosome (no mutation in Xist) will always be active" E. "The normal X chromosome (no mutation in Xist) will always be inactivated"arrow_forwardExplain why loss-of-function hedgehog and smoothened mutations yield the same phenotype in flies, but a loss-of- function patched mutation yields the opposite phenotype.arrow_forward
