Chapter 18, Problem 32P
Summary Introduction

a.

To determine:

The type of protein encoded by PcG genes.

Introduction:

Several genes help in deciphering the information related to the formation of various structures of the body during the embryonic development. One of the common genes that are related to this process is the Hox gene.

Summary Introduction

b.

To determine:

The phenotype of the mutant embryos that lack the PcG genes.

Introduction:

The Hox genes are homeotic genes that are present in all animals and play a significant role in development. These genes are expressed along the anteroposterior axis during the development of the embryo.

What would be the most likely effect of inhibiting the translation of hunchback mRNA throughout a Drosophila embryo?
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?
The genes described below are part of the yeast mating signal transduction pathway that signals the presence of extracellular alpha pheromone to the nucleus. These genes are listed in the order they function in the pathway. STE3 encodes alpha pheromone receptor STE4 encodes the ß subunit of a heterotrimeric G protein STE7 encodes a protein kinase STE12 encodes a transcription factor Loss-of function-mutations in any of these genes are sterile. In addition, gain-of-function mutations can be isolated in these genes. For which gene would a loss of function mutation suppress gain-of-function mutations in any of the other three genes. STE3 STE7 STE12 STE4
