Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 33P
Wild-type embryos and mutant embryos lacking the gap gene knirps (kni) are treated with fluorescent antibodies at the syncytial blastoderm stage to examine the distributions of the Hunchback and Krüppel proteins. The results are shown schematically on the following figure.
| a. | Based on these results, what can you conclude about the relationships among these three genes? |
| b. | Would the pattern of Hunchback protein in embryos from a nanos mutant mother differ from that shown? If yes, describe the difference and explain why. If not, explain why not. |

Please help me to draw this by hand. In as much detail as possible, hand draw a schematic diagram of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonad (HPG) axis in the human female. Be sure to include all the relevant structures and hormones. You must define all abbreviations the first time you use them. Please include (and explain) the feedback loops.

Describe one way by which Nodal gets amplified in this region." My understanding of this is that there are a few ways nodal is amplified though I'm not sure if this is specifically occurs on the opposite side of the AVE. 1. pronodal cleaved by protease -> active nodal 2. Nodal -> BMP4 -> Wnt-> nodal 3. Nodal-> Nodal, Fox1 binding site 4. BMP4 on outside-> nodal Are all of these occuring opposite to AVE?arrow_forwardIf four babies are born on a given day What is the chance all four will be girls? Use genetics lawsarrow_forward

What is the phenotype, and why is the phenotype so similar? Is the phenotype going to be that there is a disruption of the formation of the neural tube for both of these because bottle cell formation is necessary for the neural plate to fold in forming the neural tube and Shroom3 is further needed to close the neural plate? So since both Plekhg5 and Shroom3 are used in forming the neural tube, injecting the mRNA will just lead to neural tube deformity?arrow_forwardWhat are some medical issues or health trends that may have a direct link to the idea of keeping fat out of diets?arrow_forward
