Chapter 18, Problem 19TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction: A morphogen is a substance made of peptide that determines the fate of a cell. The morphogen is non-uniformly distributed in the cell, and it controls the tissue formation and pattern development during the process of morphogenesis.

For the Igf2 gene, where do de novo methylation and maintenancemethylation occur?a. De novo methylation occurs in sperm, and maintenancemethylation occurs in egg cells.b. De novo methylation occurs in egg cells, and maintenancemethylation occurs in sperm cells.c. De novo methylation occurs in sperm, and maintenancemethylation occurs in somatic cells of offspring.d. De novo methylation occurs in egg cells, and maintenancemethylation occurs in somatic cells of offspring.
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?

d. inactivation of VegT protein by nodal-related protein

- In the sea urchin, early development may occur even in the presence of actinomycin D, which inhibits RNA synthesis. However, if actinomycin D is present early in development but is removed a few hours later, all development stops. In fact, if actinomycin D is present only between the sixth and eleventh hours of development, events that normally occur at the fifteenth hour are arrested. What conclusions can be drawn concerning the role of gene transcription between hours 6 and 15?arrow_forwardGiven the following schematic for a gene and its associated regulatory regions, answer the following questions by placing the correct letter in the provided blanks please put in the correct letter for the questions What region would provide cell type-specific expression of genes? region What site would significantly increase gene expression rates? = region What region or regions of this gene’s coding sequence are expressed as amino acids = regionarrow_forwardIn times of nutrient stress, the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum develops one of two cell types: pre-stalk and pre-spore. Scientists studying this development discovered that the pH of individual cells regulates the type of cell that is formed. Which of the following claims could scientists make about how environmental cues affect the gene expression of Dictyostelium discoideum? A - A response to nutrient deprivation leads to a change in pH that causes mutation in the cells, forming the different cell types. B - A response to nutrient deprivation leads to a change in pH that disrupts the cells, forcing them to develop into certain cell types. C - A response to environmental stress leads to a change in pH that triggers transcription factors to differentiate the cell type that will be formed. D - A response to environmental stress leads to a change in pH and a decrease in transcription factors that differentiate the cell type that will be formed.arrow_forward
