Chapter 22, Problem 10CONQ
As described in Chapter 5, not all inherited traits are determined by nuclear genes (i.e., genes located in the cell nucleus) that are expressed during the life of an individual. In particular, maternal effect genes and mitochondrial DNA are notable exceptions. With these ideas in mind, let’s consider the cloning of a sheep (e.g., Dolly).
A. With regard to maternal effect genes, is the
B. Does the cloned animal inherit extranuclear traits from the animal that donated the egg or from the animal that donated the somatic cell? Explain.
C. In what ways would you expect this cloned animal to be similar to or different from the animal that donated the somatic cell? Is it accurate to call such an animal a “clone” of the animal that donated the nucleus?

- this is what i have said about this image so far, what else can be said aswell including the raw count column. " Interpreting the results of an RNA-Seq analysis is pivotal in understanding the underlying genetic mechanisms of diseases such as breast cancer. In this analysis, Figure 1 provides comprehensive data on differentially expressed genes associated with breast cancer. By delving into the provided information, we can gain valuable insights into the molecular landscape of this disease. First focus is on the gene with the highest fold change, EYA4, situated on chromosome 6. With a staggering fold change of 3604.4176, EYA4 exhibits an unprecedented level of overexpression in cancerous cells compared to normal cells. This profound alteration suggests a pivotal role for EYA4 in breast cancer pathogenesis. The log2 fold change of 11.81555 further emphasizes the magnitude of this difference in gene expression. Statistical significance is evident, with an exceptionally low p-value of…arrow_forwardresearchers have been able to clonemammals by fusing a cell having a diploid nucleus (i.e., a somaticcell) with an egg that has had its nucleus removed.A. With regard to maternal effect genes, would the phenotype ofsuch a cloned animal be determined by the animal that donatedthe egg or by the animal that donated the somatic cell? Explain.B. Would the cloned animal inherit extranuclear traits from theanimal that donated the egg or from the animal that donated thesomatic cell? Explain.C. In what ways would you expect this cloned animal to be similarto or different from the animal that donated the somatic cell? Isit fair to call such an animal a clone of the animal that donatedthe diploid nucleus?arrow_forwardThe restriction digests of the cloned Drosophila gene can provide direct visible evidence of a mutation, as these samples come from a clone of the gene. In order to similarly detect a mutation in the copy of the endogenous gene within the Drosophila genome, a mechanism for specifically detecting restriction fragments from that gene among the complex set of fragments generated in a restriction digest of the entire Drosophila genome. Remember that the Drosophila melanogaster genome consists of ~123,000 kb. For a 10.2 kb Drosophila gene, what fraction of the genome does this gene constitute?arrow_forward
- The goal of the Knockout Mouse Project is to generate a set of ES cell lines, each with a knockout mutation in a single gene, that collectively contains amutation in every gene in the mouse genome.a. Do you think that it will be possible, for everygene, to generate a heterozygous knockout ES cellline? Explain.b. Do you think that for every heterozygous knockoutES cell line, it will be possible to generate a heterozygous knockout mouse? Explain.c. In fact, investigators failed in their attempts to generate ES cell knockouts for the Fam gene describedin Problem 5. How could these researchers use EScell technology to determine whether Fam is required for eye development in the mouse?

- 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.

- Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA) causes progressive vision loss due to defects in the gene that encodes RPE65 isomerase. Affected individuals are homozygous recessive for mutant alleles of the RPE65 gene. You are trying to determine the molecular nature of the mutations in three individuals with LCA. For ease of analysis, you may assume that each individual is homozygous for the same mutant allele (though the three individuals have different mutations than each other). You use the polymerase chain reaction to amplify DNA from each patient and you determine the sequence of the DNA and compare it to unaffected individuals. You identify the following differences. Note that the non-template strand of DNA is given and the changes are highlighted using red boldface. You can assume that the sequences are in the first reading frame (eg. the first three nucleotides of each sequence is a codon). The coding region of the gene is 1602 bp and the position of the sequences shown below is…arrow_forwardIf you wanted to analyze the size and abundance of the HOAP protein in an extract from a Drosophila animal that you think may be mutant for the HOAP gene, what method could you use to target your analysis specifically to the HOAP protein in that extract?arrow_forwardWith the understanding of DNA methylation and gene expression, answer these following questions with as little word as possible. a.
