Figure 13-7 illustrates the expression of the Ultrabithorax(Ubx) Hox protein in developing flight appendages.What is the relationship between where the protein isexpressed and the phenotype resulting from the loss ofits expression (shown in Figure 13-1)?
Homeotic genes(A) encode transcription factors that control the expression ofgenes responsible for specific anatomical structures.(B) are found only in Drosophila and other arthropods.(C) are the only genes that contain the homeobox domain.(D) encode proteins that form anatomical structures in the fly.
The three homeodomain proteins Abd-B, Abd-A, andUbx are encoded by genes within the Bithorax complexof Drosophila. In wild-type embryos, the Abd-B gene isexpressed in the posterior abdominal segments, Abd-Ain the middle abdominal segments, and Ubx in the anterior abdominal and posterior thoracic segments. Whenthe Abd-B gene is deleted, Abd-A is expressed in both themiddle and the posterior abdominal segments. WhenAbd-A is deleted, Ubx is expressed in the posterior thoraxand in the anterior and middle abdominal segments.When Ubx is deleted, the patterns of Abd-A and Abd-Bexpression are unchanged from wild type. When bothAbd-A and Abd-B are deleted, Ubx is expressed in all segments from the posterior thorax to the posterior end ofthe embryo. Explain these observations, taking into consideration the fact that the gap genes control the initialexpression patterns of the homeotic genes
Which of the following statements about Tbx5 is true? a. Tbx5, Tbx4, and AmphiTbx4/5 have very similar coding regions. b. Tbx5 is involved in tail development in vertebrates. c. Tbx5, Tbx4, and AmphiTbx4/5 have very similar regulatory regions. d. Tbx5 initiates hindlimb development.
You isolate a glp-1 mutation of C. elegans and discover that the DNA region encoding the spatial control region (SCR) has been deleted. What will the GLP-1 protein expression pattern be in a four-cell embryo in mutant heterozygotes? In mutant homozygotes?
In Drosophila, both fushi tarazu (ftz) and engrailed (eng) genes encode homeobox transcription factors and are capable of eliciting the expression of other genes. Both genes work at about the same time during development and in the same region to specify cell fate in body segments. To discover if ftz regulates the expression of engrailed;if engrailed regulates ftz; or if both are regulated by another gene, you perform a mutant analysis. In ftz embryos (ftz/ ftz) engrailed protein is absent; in engrailed embryos (eng/eng) ftz expression is normal. What does this tell you about the regulation of these two genes—does the engrailed gene regulate ftz, or does the ftz gene regulate engrailed?
In early mammalian development, compaction would likely be blocked by inhibiting expression of which of the following? a. Beta-catenin. b. E-cadherin. c. Bcl2. d. Cdx2.
Pax6 is a gene that is involved in mammalian eye development. Mutations in this gene result in a lack of iris in humans, and mice that are homozygous for the mutation lack eyes completely. Mutations in the eyeless gene in the fruitfly Drosophila result in reduced eyes. Expressing Pax6 from mammals in other tissues of Drosophila during its embryonic development can result in an ectopic eye (e.g. an eye expressed in a different tissue type). An example of an ectopic eye on the antenna of Drosophila is shown below. Part A: The eye of humans, mouse, and fly are an example of the following (check all that apply) A. Structural analog B. Structural homolog C. Developmental homolog D. Genetic homolog Part B: Darwin's hypothesis of natural selection has two components: Species are not static but change through time Species are related, and not independent. In what ways does the human, mouse, and fly eye support or contradict one or both of the two components of…
The TBX20 transcription factor is important for the developmentof heart tissue. Deletion of the Tbx20 gene in mice results in poorheart development and the death of mice well before birth. Tobetter understand how TBX20 regulates heart development ata genetic level, Sakabe et al. (2012. Hum. Mol. Genet. 21:2194–2204) performed a transcriptome analysis in which they comparedthe levels of all mRNAs between heart cells from wild-typemice and mice with Tbx20 deleted. This study concluded that TBX20 acts as an activator ofsome genes but a repressor of other genes in cardiac tissue.How might a single transcription factor have oppositeeffects on the transcription of different genes?
You isolate a glp-1 mutation of C. elegans and discoverthat the DNA region encoding the spatial control region(SCR) has been deleted. What will the GLP-1 protein expression pattern be in a four-cell embryo in mutant heterozygotes? In mutant homozygotes?
As shown in Figure 13-26, the Sonic hedgehog gene is expressed in many places in a developing chicken. Is theidentical Sonic hedgehog protein expressed in each tissue? If so, how do the tissues develop into different structures? If not, how are different Sonic hedgehog proteinsproduced?
In comparison to experimental results from the genetic manipulation of an invertebrate model, what pathologic outcome(s) would suggest that multiple homologs of a disease gene are present in humans? a. Missing the essential gene homolog that is lethal in fruit flies is also lethal in human infants. b. Different homologs of the essential gene are each expressed in different human organs, and mutations in these duplicated genes cause organ-specific diseases. c. Different homologs of the essential gene are each expressed in different stages of early child development, and mutations in each of these duplicated genes cause different diseases. d. In humans, defects in different homologs of the essential gene cause different loss-of-function diseases due to subfunctionalization. e. The essential gene is lethal in fruit flies, but there is no disease phenotype exhibited in people.
