Which of these statements regarding the affected gene are likely to be TRUE? Both copies of the gene will have to be mutated for disease to occur The mutated gene is a tumour suppressor gene The mutations in this gene are passenger mutations The mutations are probably caused by a large deletion The mutation has to be in the coding region Only one of the mutated copies of this gene have to be inherited to increase the tumour risk The mutated gene is an oncogene 09:10

6. Suppose a particular gene is required for early development and also later for development of a particulartissue, such as the adult nervous system. By generating a homozygous mutant clone in that tissue of a heterozygote, researchers can circumvent the lethalitythat would result if the entire animal is homozygousfor a loss-of-function mutation in that gene.A technique called MARCM (Mosaic Analysiswith a Repressible Cell Marker) was developed to enable Drosophila geneticists to generate homozygousmutant cell clones that are marked by the presence of areporter protein such as GFP. Marker expression enables the investigator to observe clearly the mutantphenotype within a clone of mutant cells. This technique relies on a yeast protein called Gal80 that is anegative regulator of the Gal4 protein described previously in Solved Problem II. Gal80 binds to Gal4 andprevents it from activating transcription. The idea ofMARCM is that Gal4/UASG-driven GFP expression isblocked by Gal80 throughout…
