Chapter 18, Problem 14P
Summary Introduction

a.

To draw:

The chromosome and the mitotic crossover that generates a homozygous m- mutant clone marked by GFP expression.

Introduction:

The mitotic crossover is a type of genetic recombination that can take place in somatic cells in both sexual as well as asexual organisms. This recombination takes place when somatic cells prepare themselves for mitosis. It can cause expression of recessive genes in an otherwise heterozygous individual.

Summary Introduction

b.

To determine:

The method by which the clones to the adult nervous system could be restricted.

Introduction:

The technique of producing a similar type of population of cells is termed as cloning. The cell population produced by this technique is genetically identical.

Northern blotting, RT-PCR, and microarrays can be used to analyze gene expression. A lab studies yeast cells, comparing their growth in two different sugars, glucose and galactose. One student is comparing expression of the gene HMG2 under these two conditions. Which technique(s) could he use and why? Another student wants to compare expression of all the genes on chromosome 4, of which there are approximately 800. What technique(s) could she use and why?
The MET oncogene is a growth factor receptor that is altered in many forms of cancer including lung and colon carcinomas as well as several forms of melanoma. One assay for characterizing the gene composition of tumor cells is Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH) in which a fluorescently labeled DNA is used to show the presence of and level (i.e. number copies) of a gene inside cells. The experiment below is a FISH assay of two different tumor samples (Patient D and Patient E) using a MET gene probe labeled with a green fluorescent probe. The figure on the right presents the survival data from diagnosis of cancer patients with FISH data similar to Patient D or E. Based on this data, what has happened to the MET gene in Patient D population that has made their cancer more severe and reduced survival time (Limit 4-5 sentences). D Survival rate (%) 100 0 0 100 200 Time (days) 300 E
Suppose that you are studying the role of Protein B, which you believe plays a role in regulating PCD/Apoptosis in mice. You create two lines of mutant mice. One (bb) is homozygous for a loss-of-function allele of gene B. The other (Bb) is heterozygous, with one wild-type allele and one loss-of function allele. Initially you pay particular attention to two phenotypes of the resulting mice:(i) The morphology of their paws (see picture)(ii) The size of their brains & shape of their skulls. The bb mice have unusually large brains and unusual protrusions from their skulls. Suggest one other aspect of mouse morphology or physiology that you might expect to be altered in the absence of Protein B. Briefly explain your reasoning. Also, based on the apparent effect of Protein B on the likelihood of PCD/Apoptosis, would you classify Protein B as the product of a proto-oncogene or of a tumor suppressor gene?
