The photos above show flowers from Arabidopsis plants. One plant is wild-type (unmutated); the other carries a mutation in one of its ABC floral identity genes. This mutation causes sepals and petals to form instead of stamens and carpels. Refer to Figure 10.8 to decide which gene (A, B, or C) has been inactivated by the mutation.

5. Chapter 21 describes two blotting methods (i.e., Northern blottingand Western blotting) used to detect gene products. Northern blottingdetects RNA and Western blotting detects proteins. Supposethat a female fruit fly is heterozygous for a maternal effect gene,which we will call gene B. The female is Bb. The normal allele, B,encodes a functional mRNA that is 550 nucleotides long. A recessiveallele, b, encodes a shorter mRNA that is 375 nucleotideslong. (Allele b is due to a deletion within this gene.) How couldyou use one or more of these techniques to show that nurse cellstransfer gene products from gene B to developing oocytes? Youmay assume that you can dissect the ovaries of fruit flies and isolateoocytes separately from nurse cells. In your answer, describeyour expected results.
2. a. You want to create a genetic construct that will express GFP in Drosophila. In addition to the GFPcoding sequence, what DNA element(s) must youinclude in order to express this protein in flies if theconstruct were integrated into the Drosophila genome? Where should such DNA element(s) be located? How would you ensure that GFP is expressedonly in certain tissues of the fly, such as the wing?b. Suppose you insert the GFP coding region plus allof the DNA elements required by the answer to part(a)—except the enhancer—between inverted repeatsfound at the ends of a particular transposable element.Because all of the DNA sequences located betweenthese inverted repeats can move from place to placein the Drosophila genome, you can generate manydifferent fly strains, each with the construct integrated at a different genomic location. You now examine animals from each strain for GFPfluorescence. Animals from different strains showdifferent patterns: some glow green in the eyes,others in…
