Some genes evolve more rapidly than others. But how can this be demonstrated?
In the experiment of Figure shown , a met− bio− thr+ leu+ thi+ cellcould become met+ bio+ thr+ leu+ thi+ by a (rare) double mutationthat converts the met− bio− genes into met+ bio+. Likewise, a met+bio+ thr− leu− thi− cell could become met+ bio+ thr+ leu+ thi+ bythree mutations that convert the thr− leu− thi− genes into thr+ leu+thi+. From the results of Figure shown, how do you know that the occurrenceof 10 met+ bio+ thr+ leu+ thi+ colonies is not due to thesetypes of rare double or triple mutations?

You are working in a lab that studies stickleback fish. These fish normally have three spines that occur on the back of the stickleback. One day you notice that a young stickleback has no spines on its back but instead has three spines growing out of the top of its head! Question: Briefly explain a study you could do to test if the difference between the mutant and wild type fish was due to a difference in the structural gene that makes the spines or due to a difference in gene expression.
