The way in which mutant could have a phenotypic effect in a green area. Introduction: Mutations can be inherited and hence transferred on from one person to another. If a variation produces a new phenotype that presents an organism is quite suited to a particular situation, it can lead to rapid development in the properties of the individuals in that particular species.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The way in which mutant could have a phenotypic effect in a green area.

Introduction: Mutations can be inherited and hence transferred on from one person to another. If a variation produces a new phenotype that presents an organism is quite suited to a particular situation, it can lead to rapid development in the properties of the individuals in that particular species.

You are working with a fly hair cell developmental system. This Notch/Delta-regulated system results in clusters of cells where the central one differentiates into a specialized hair cell. To better understand this system you have tagged the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain of Notch with GFP. You have done a forward genetic screen to look for mutants that have unusual phenotypes in this Notch system. The first one is a mutation in Notch itself. This mutant is in the ADAM10 cleavage site and blocks proteolysis. Draw the expected outcome for such a mutant: GFP localization and developmental outcome 24hr after differentiation. WT before differentiation WT 24 hours after differentiation

In the module, you have learned about P-element mediated transgenesis in Drosophila and the concept of using transgenes to rescue mutant phenotypes. In the figure below, you will see a wild type fly with its natural eye colour and three mutants with their eye colours changed to vermillion, white and rosy, respectively. A schematic of P-element mediated transgenesis (as shown in the lectures) is also included in the figure. Please inspect the schematic carefully and choose which of the following statements is true: I. Injection of the white experimental transgene into the vermillion mutant embryo will not change the vermillion mutant phenotype II. Injection of the white experimental transgene in the rosy mutant embryo will change rosy eye colour to red (wild type) III. Injection of the white experimental transgene in the white mutant embryo will not change the white mutant phenotype IV. Injection of the white experimental transgene in the rosy mutant…

The genes described below are part of the yeast mating signal transduction pathway that signals the presence of extracellular alpha pheromone to the nucleus. These genes are listed in the order they function in the pathway. STE3 encodes alpha pheromone receptor STE4 encodes the ß subunit of a heterotrimeric G protein STE7 encodes a protein kinase STE12 encodes a transcription factor Loss-of function-mutations in any of these genes are sterile. In addition, gain-of-function mutations can be isolated in these genes. For which gene would a loss of function mutation suppress gain-of-function mutations in any of the other three genes. STE3 STE7 STE12 STE4
