What characteristics of the DSX protein enable the female- and male-specific isoforms of DSX to regulate the same genes but with different outcomes in female and male development? [multiple answers possible]
A.The two isoforms are different alleles of the same gene
B.The two isoforms have different DNA-binding domains
C.The two isoforms are lncRNAs involved in dosage compensation
D.The two isoforms differ in their activation domain
E.The two isoforms share the same activation domain
F. The two isoforms share the same DNA-binding domain
Researchers have identified a gene (FR) responsible for watermelon resistance to infection by Dacus curcurbitae (a close relative of Drosophila melanogaster). They isolate RNA from resistant (FR+) and sensitive (fr-) watermelons and use a probe that will recognize both FR+ and fr- transcripts. They also isolate protein from resistant and sensitive watermelons and perform a Western blot using an antibody that can recognize the fr- and FR+ protein. Describe the results illustrated below and give a plausible molecular explanation for these observations.
Gene X is expressed in the developing brain, heart, andlungs of mice. Mutations that selectively affect gene Xfunction in these three tissues map to three differentregions (A, B, and C, respectively) 5′ of the X codingregion.a. Explain the nature of these mutations.b. Draw a map of the X locus consistent with the preceding information.c. How would you test the function of the A, B, and Cregions?
