Introduction:
Drosophila is a model organism for the study of development. It has a well studied genome sequence. Multiple genes are involved in the development of drosophila. Hox gene product functions as a transcription factor for homeobox gene (ultrabithorax and Antennapedia gene complex). In Drosophila, antennapedia is a hox gene that controls the formation of legs during development. It consists of five hox genes which work in combination for the development of cephalic and thoracic parasegments. Bithorax complex is a group of homeotic genes that regulator the differentiation of abdominal and post thoracic segments.

- Propose a hypothesis that could explain the following observation. A graduate student performing studies on mutations in drosophila (fruit flies) discovered a strain of flies with a silent mutation in the gene controlling the shape of the wings. Further investigation has shown that this mutation is lethal in flies who are homozygote. Flies that are homozygote wild type or heterozygote can develop and are able to survive.arrow_forwardWhat is trichomacy in primates and why is this considered a beneficial mutation?arrow_forwardThe hair keratin gene KRTHAP1 was lost in the human lineage. Keratins are a major component of hairs. Humans still have nine functional type I hair keratin genes but the loss of that particular gene may have caused the thinning of human body hair. The gene loss occurred relatively recently in human evolution—less than 240,000 years ago. What does this tell you about the possible phenotypic appearance of the humanoids living at that time? a. Denisovans likely had excessive body hair. b. The immediate precursors to anatomically modern humans must have been extremely hirsuit. c. We would expect to see a significant diminution in body hair in the hominids living around 240KYA consistent with the loss of this gene. d. Neanderthals probably had thick wooly manes of body hair. e. Homo ergaster probably had no body hairarrow_forward
- You are a researcher studying birds in an Indonesian rainforest. You have just discovered two new species whose beaks are markedly different, which you have named Laetiphonia orthorhynchus and Laetiphonia rhamphis. In particular, the beaks of L. orthorhynchus are very long, straight and pointed, whereas L. rhamphis have beaks that are quite short, wide and curved downwards. In further studies, you find that the same gene codes for beak shape in both species. In your own words, explain at least two ways that changes in gene expression could result in the differences you observe between these two species. Make sure to be specific in how your explanation applies to the bird species in this example.arrow_forwardHow, specifically, is the concept of ALLOMETRY relevant to the phylogenetic position of Homo floresiensis? Because if allometry explains the anatomy of Homo floresiensis then we can conclude that it is not separate species but instead a member of our species. Although most mammals on islands go through a process of getting smaller, Homo floresiensis evolved from a smaller ancestor to be bigger, meaning that allometry is an important factor. Mutations in the allometry allele are associated with many of the characteristics of Homo floresiensis. Because Homo floresiensis is so much smaller than other members of the genus Homo, it is important to determine how shape changes associated with smaller size impacted the species. Because Homo floresiensis had both small- and large-bodied forms, variation within the species is in large part dictated by allometry.arrow_forwardVolvox carteri, an volvocine alga, has approximately 2000 somatic cells and only 16 reproductive or germ line cells. The observation that multicellular individuals, like Volvox, have a much smaller subset of germ line cells compared to somatic cells appears to be general rule. Which of the following is the best evolutionary explanation for why this is the case? A) Organisms can biologically only contain a small number of germ line cells as they are always larger than somatic cells. B) Multicellular individuals with a germ line vs. somatic cell line differentiation only evolved a single time, thus all members of this lineage share the same scheme of more soma cells with a much smaller subset of germ line cells. C) Having a smaller subset of reproductive cells helps reduce the likelihood of cheating from evolving, which in turns prevents the collapse of the multicellular individual system. D) None of the above.arrow_forward
- What is the common ancestor of the Galapagos finches? What are the thirteen Galapagos finches? What characteristics make each of the thirteen finches a distinct species? How is each finch isolated from the others? What habitat does each finch live?arrow_forwardExplain how loss-of-function mutations in the following categories of genes would affect the morphologies of Drosophila larvae: A. Gap genes B. Pair-rule genes C. Segment-polarity genesarrow_forwardCrickets have colonized each island in the Hawaiian Archipelago. Geological data indicates that Kauai is the oldest island in the chain and Hawaii is the youngest. Researchers hypothesized that crickets sequentially colonized islands as they rose out of the ocean and created a cladogram based on molecular relationships to test this idea. 1) Mark & label (as “MRCA”) the most recent common ancestor for all crickets on the island of Kauai. 2) Molokai is roughly equally distant from Oahu as Maui, but not equally related. Are Molokai crickets more closely related to those on Oahu or Maui?_________arrow_forward
- The ancestor of cats was presumably homozygous for wild type at all of the described genes. What was the phenotype of this ancestral cat at each of these loci? 1)Dark grey with black mackerel stripes 2)Light grey female with dark grey mackerel stripes 3)Light brown male with chocolate tips 4)Black female with large white patches 5)Cream male with small white patches and orange mackerel stripes 6)A uniformly colored black catarrow_forwarda) Explain how it can be the case that mutating a Homeobox containing gene has a large impact on the morphology of some trait, even though the evolution of that trait involved no changes in that gene. b) Explain how, even though they rarely change themselves, certain patterns of expression of Homeobox and MADS box containing genes facilitate morphological diversification in animals and plants.arrow_forwardBecause offspring inherit the mitochondrial genome only from the mother, evolutionarily the mitochondrial genome in males encounters a dead end. The mitochondrial genome in males has no significant impact on the genetic information of future generations. Scientists have proposed that this can result in an accumulation of mutations that have a negative impact on genetic fitness of males but not females. Experiments with Drosophila support this possibility. What experimental data or evidence would you want to evaluate or consider to determine if an accumulation of mtDNA mutations negatively impacts the fitness of males of any species?arrow_forward
