Chapter 47, Problem 47.1CR
What cell-surface event would likely fail if a sperm contacted an egg of another species?
Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
To identify: The cell-surface event that has failed in case a sperm contacts an egg of different species.
Introduction:
The process of binding of a sperm to a receptor on the egg surface is species specific. There are many events that lead to the fusion of plasma membranes of egg and sperm.
- 1. The sperm contacts the jelly coat of egg.
- 2. The release of enzymes from the acrosomes.
- 3. Fusion of the sperm and egg plasma membrane.
- 4. Release of cortical granules and formation of fertilization envelope.
- 5. Entry of the sperm nucleus.
Explanation of Solution
There are some cell specific surface proteins that is essential for the fusion of sperm and egg. These protein are necessary for the proper recognition. If the gametes are from different species it is not possible for the sperm to induce the acrosome reaction. It is not possible for the sperm to burn its way through the egg’s outer layer.
Conclusion
All the reactions of the fertilization is possible only if the sperm and egg are from the same species. It would not occur if the sperm and egg are from different species.

However, a SNP in the position shown in gray (right) would prevent cleavage at this site by EcoRI One of the SNPs in B. rapa is found within the Park14 locus and can be detected by RFLP analysis. The CT polymorphism is found in the intron of the Bra013780 gene found on Chromosome 1. The Park14 allele with the "C" in the SNP has two EcoRI sites and thus is cleaved twice by EcoRI If there is a "T" in that SNP, one of the EcoRI sites is altered, so the Park14 allele with the T in the SNP has only one EcoRI site (Fig. 5-3).

- 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?arrow_forwardWhat experiment could you do to see if the maternal gene, bicoid, is sufficient to form anterior fates?arrow_forwardYou’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.arrow_forward
