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.
