A shuttle vector is a vector constructed so that it can propagate in two different host species.
One of the most common types of shuttle vectors is the yeast shuttle vector.
(i)
Name the THREE (3) most common yeast shuttle vectors.
(ii)
Based on the answer above, differentiate these THREE (3) vectors.
In our feeding experiment with vermilion/brown and cinnabar/brown mutant flies, we were supposed to use kynurenine or hydroxykynurenine to overcome the enzymatic block in the ommochrome pathway, caused by the vermilion or cinnabar mutations. Which eye color would you expect for each of the two double mutants, if we had supplemented the medium with N-formylkynurenine? Use a diagram of the pathway to explain your answer.
Cold sensitive mutation (Cs) results in a mutant phenotype below a particular temperature. Bacteria with mutation ess-2 (Ts) can form colonies at 32oC but not at 37oC and 42oC, while bacteria with mutation ess-5 (Cs) can form colonies at 42oC but not at 32oC and 37oC. What would be the phenotype of an ess-2 (Ts) and ess-5 (Cs) double mutant?

- What is the process shown in Figure 4?arrow_forwardSee the hypothetical pathway answer the following questions. A) If an individual is homozygous for a null mutation in the gene that codes for Enz1, what would the result be? B) What would happen if an individual is heterozygous for a mutation that abolishes the activity of Enz2? C) What could happen to the offspring of the individuals described above (in a and b)? Assume that they only have the mutations described.arrow_forwardWhat is the simplest explanation for why patients have been identified with only one copy of the phosphofructokinase-1 gene (heterozygous), but no patients have been identified that lack both copies of the phosphofructokinase-1 gene (homozygous)? Patients lacking both copies of the phosphofructokinase-1 genes will be found once DNA sequencing technology can sequence whole genomes. Phosphofructokinase-1 is needed for nitrogen metabolism and there are no enzymes to replace this function, so cells die from ammonia toxicity. Phosphofructokinase-1 is a required enzyme for carbohydrate metabolism in all living cells, complete loss of this enzyme would be lethal. There are 6 phosphofructokinase-1 paralogous genes in humans and it is impossible to lack both type 1 copies when there are also types 4, 5, and 6.arrow_forward
- Which step of the Central Dogma is responsible for transmission of genetic information from generation to generation? Explain.arrow_forwardWhat is an exconjugant? How do you think that exconjugants were obtained? (It might include genes not described in this problem.)arrow_forwardThree haploid fungal mutants that require compound W for growth were isolated. Each mutant contains a recessive allele in a single gene. Three compounds (A, B and C) in the biosynthetic pathway to W are known, but their order in the pathway is unknown. Each compound is tested for its ability to support the growth of each of the three mutants. Phenotypes of all of the three mutants are shown in the following table (“+" indicates growth, "-" indicates no growth). A C W Mutant 1 Mutant 2 Mutant 3 What would be the phenotype of a haploid mutant that contains both mutant alleles in mutant 2 and 3? Phenotype refers to growth or absence of growth on compounds A, B, C and WN. O Like mutant 1 O Like mutant 2 Like mutant 3 O Like wild typearrow_forward
- In DNA-hybridization experiments on six species of plants in the genus Vicia, DNA was isolated from each of the six species, denatured by heating, and sheared into small fragments (W. Y. Chooi. 1971. Genetics 68:213–230). In one experiment, DNA from each species and from E. coli was allowed to renature. The graph shows the results of this renaturation experiment. Q. Notice that, for the Vicia species, the rate of renaturation is much faster in the first hour and then slows down. What might cause this initial rapid renaturation and the subsequent slowdown?arrow_forwardWhich of these mechanisms causes the TE to increase in number?arrow_forwardWhen present on the leaves of plants, the bacterium Pseudomonas syringae can promote frost damage to plants. Mutant strains, lacking the “ice” gene, have been applied to plants to try and protect the plants from wild-type P. syringae-induced frost. Assume that I am telling the truth that wild-type P. syringae nucleates ice formation at -2 °C, and provide an explanation as to why application of this altered (mutant) bacterium to plants might be a beneficial agricultural strategy in areas where morning lows occasionally dip down to 28-30 °F.arrow_forward
- why does a clone of cells produceonly one type of G-6-PD enzyme? What would you expect to happen if a clone was derived from an early embryonic cell? Whydoes the initial sample of tissue produce both forms of G-6-PD?arrow_forwardIn DNA-hybridization experiments on six species of plants in the genus Vicia, DNA was isolated from each of the six species, denatured by heating, and sheared into small fragments (W. Y. Chooi. 1971. Genetics 68:213–230). In one experiment, DNA from each species and from E. coli was allowed to renature. The graph shows the results of this renaturation experiment. Q. Can you explain why the E. coli DNA renatures at a much faster rate than does DNA from any of the Vicia species?arrow_forwardWith respect to F+ and F- bacterial matings, answer the following questions: (a) How was it established that physical contact between cells was necessary? (b) How was it established that chromosome transfer was unidirectional? (c) What is the genetic basis for a bacterium’s being F+?arrow_forward
