A paper hypothesizes that white flowers are unable to produce anthocyanins (purple pigments) because they lack a functional “A” protein. However, it is also possible that an unknown gene is responsible for the lack of anthocyanins. Now that they have isolated DNA sequences of the “A” allele, design an experiment to use these DNA sequences to distinguish between these two hypotheses.
The photos below show flowers from two 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 10.7 to decide which gene A, B, or C has been inactivated by the mutation.
The flower color of genetically identical hemp plants (clones) is purple when the flowers develop under cold environment (<14 °C) and white when they develop under hot environment (>30 °C). Describe in detail a molecular mechanism that could explain how these two groups of genetically identical plants differ in their gene expressions to produce different flower colors?

You identify an auxotroph that doesn't grow in normal medium, but does grow in medium supplemented with Q, indicating that it has a defect in one or more enzymes in this pathway. This auxotroph is also able to grow if you supplement the medium with D. Does this data support the one gene-one enzyme hypothesis? a yes, because only one enzyme is disrupted by the mutation b yes, because only one enzyme in the pathway is functional in the mutant strain c no, because multiple enzymes in the pathway could be functional in the mutant strain d no, because multiple enzymes could be disrupted by the mutation
In times of nutrient stress, the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum develops one of two cell types: pre-stalk and pre-spore. Scientists studying this development discovered that the pH of individual cells regulates the type of cell that is formed. Which of the following claims could scientists make about how environmental cues affect the gene expression of Dictyostelium discoideum? A - A response to nutrient deprivation leads to a change in pH that causes mutation in the cells, forming the different cell types. B - A response to nutrient deprivation leads to a change in pH that disrupts the cells, forcing them to develop into certain cell types. C - A response to environmental stress leads to a change in pH that triggers transcription factors to differentiate the cell type that will be formed. D - A response to environmental stress leads to a change in pH and a decrease in transcription factors that differentiate the cell type that will be formed.
Flowering Locus C (FLC) is a gene that is responsible for flowering in certain plants. FLC is normally expressed in new seedlings, which prevents flowering. When a plant is exposed to cold temperatures, FLC expression decreases and the plant produces flowers. FLC is regulated through epigenetic modifications. Based on this information, you should expect which of the following in histone proteins near the FLC gene: 1.In new seedlings, histones will be acetylated; while in the cold, histone methylation occurs 2.In new seedlings, histones will be methylated; while in the cold, histone acetylation occurs 3.In new seedlings, histones will be methylated; while in the cold, histone deacetylation occurs
Researchers have successfully used gene therapy toameliorate some human genetic diseases by adding anormal gene copy to cells whose genomes originallyhad only nonfunctional mutant copies of that gene.For example, a form of blindness due to the lack of asingle protein called RPE65 has been reversed byintroduction of a normal RPE65 gene to cells of theretina of adults.a. The success of this gene therapy approach providesus with clues about the role of the RPE65 proteinin the retina. Do you think that RPE65 is neededfor the proper development of the human eye?b. Can you see a potential difficulty in applying this genetherapy approach for diseases like microcephaly?
Let's say: a drosophila melanogaster line is bred in a lab, which has a phenotypic variation of interest resulting from the wingless gene (wg1) . Firstyly: how you would go about identifying SNP variants in this gene? and Secondly: what method could you use to eliminate the possibility that this phenotype results from other gene regulatory elements?
The figure below shows RNA-Seq data (RED) for the D. melanogaster transformer (tra) gene obtained from both adult female and male fruit flies. The blue lines indicate the tra gene structure, with thicker lines indicating exons, and thin lines introns. The 5' end of the gene is on the left, and the 3' end of the gene is on the right. Based on these data, the most likely conclusion is: Males and females express identical isoforms of tra Males express more tra RNA than females The female isoform has fewer amino acids The female isoform has more amino acids The male and female isoforms have different 3'UTRs
As an alternative to random mutagenesis, scientistscan screen for mutant phenotypes by knocking downindividual gene functions systematically using RNAi.a. Suggest ways to construct transgenes that in flieswould express RNAi to knock down a gene.b. How could you perform a mutant screen for fly genesrequired for wing development using RNAi? Howcould this screen avoid the problem of pleiotropy?
Feather color in parakeets is produced by the blending of pigments produced from two biosynthetic pathways shown below. Four independently assorting genes (AA, BB, CC, and DD) produce enzymes that catalyze separate steps of the pathways. For the questions below, use an uppercase letter to indicate a dominant allele producing full enzymatic activity and a lowercase letter to indicate a recessive allele producing no functional enzyme. Feather colors produced by mixing pigments are green (yellow + blue) and purple (red + blue). Red, yellow, and blue feathers result from production of one colored pigment, and white results from absence of pigment production. What is the genotype of a pure-breeding purple parakeet strain? Express your answer as combination of allelic symbols. Example: AaBBccDd.
