Summary Introduction
To write:
The Ames test gives a minimum or maximum mutagenic potential.
Introduction:
Ames test is an employed method that uses bacteria to test whether a given chemical can cause mutations in the DNA of the test organism. It is a biological assay to access the mutagenic potential of the chemical compounds. It uses several bacterial strains that carry mutations in genes involved.

From your previous experiment, you found that this enhancer activates stripe 2 of eve expression. When you sequence this enhancer you find several binding sites for the gap gene, Giant. To test how Giant interacts with eve, you decide to remove all of the Giant binding sites from the eve enhancer. What results do you expect to see with respect to eve expression?
What experiment could you do to see if the maternal gene, bicoid, is sufficient to form anterior fates?
You’re curious about the effect that gap genes have on the pair-rule gene, evenskipped (eve), so you isolate and sequence each of the eve enhancers. You’re particularly interested in one of the enhancers, which is just upstream of the eve gene.
Describe an experimental technique you would use to find out where this particular eve enhancer is active.

The alula pattern of its wings is determined by a single autosomal gene with four alleles that exhibit an unknown hierarchy of dominance. Genetic testing shows that individuals 1-1, 11-4, 11-7, III-1, and III-4 are each homozygous. How many possible genotypes among checkered eagles in the population?arrow_forward
