Question

5.) You have identified a mutant with the following phenotype:

a) Explain what has most likely happened to the chromatin in the mutant fly.

b) Which enzyme do you think has undergone a mutation in your mutant fly? There is more than one correct answer, just give one possibility.

c) How did the mutation in the enzyme you identified in part b affect the activity of that enzyme in order to see the phenotype we observed above?

Definition Definition Observable physical traits or characteristics of an organism, which are determined by its genetic makeup (genotype) as well as environmental factors. These traits can include anything from eye color or height to behavior or disease susceptibility. Understanding an organism's phenotype is important in fields such as genetics, medicine, and ecology.
