- In comparison to experimental results from the genetic manipulation of an invertebrate model, what pathologic outcome(s) would suggest that multiple homologs of a disease gene are present in humans? a. Missing the essential gene homolog that is lethal in fruit flies is also lethal in human infants. b. Different homologs of the essential gene are each expressed in different human organs, and mutations in these duplicated genes cause organ-specific diseases. c. Different homologs of the essential gene are each expressed in different stages of early child development, and mutations in each of these duplicated genes cause different diseases. d. In humans, defects in different homologs of the essential gene cause different loss-of-function diseases due to subfunctionalization. e. The essential gene is lethal in fruit flies, but there is no disease phenotype exhibited in people.arrow_forwardWhen comparing gene expression of the cells of the ICM and those of the trophoblast, which of the following is TRUE? a.

- Developmental genes are often highly conserved. However, organisms with very similar genes can appear quite different. How is this possible? A. The genes may usually undergo mutation during development, resulting in the production of varied proteins in individual cells. B. If an identical gene is turned on at different stages in development, it can have very different effects. C. Even if genes are quite similar, they always produce proteins with different functions. D. If the genes are very similar, they must always be expressed similarly (at similar times in development) but may sometimes still have varying effects.arrow_forwardIn experiments in which rat embryo fibroblasts are transfected with suspected oncogenes, introduction of which of the following genes transform the cells (select one)? A. Myc alone B. H-Ras alone C. E1A alone D. Both Myc and E1A together E. Both Myc and H-Ras togetherarrow_forwardIn the regulatory switch experiment, what do you predict is a likely outcome in mice with the bat-mouse construct?

Pax-6 is also found in vertebrates. A Pax-6 gene from a mouse can be expressed in a fly and the protein (PAX-6) leads to a compound fly eye. This information suggests which of the following? a. PAX-6 proteins have identical amino acid sequencesb. Pax-6 genes are identical in nucleotide sequencec. PAX-6 proteins are different for formation of different kinds of eyesd. Pax-6 is highly conserved and shows shared evolutionary ancestryarrow_forward
- In the experiment below, mice were treated with a virus that inhibited expression of angiopoietin 2, MMP3 and MMP10 in the lung or with a control virus (Mock). Breast cancer cells that express the gene luciferase were then injected into the mammary glands of the mice. The metstasis of the tumors to the lungs could then be measured by imaging the presence of luciferase in the lungs. In 5-6 sentences, explain the data below and why knockout of Angpt2, MMP3 and MMP10 appears to inhibit metstastasis.arrow_forward1a) Why is it possible for you to study the eye colour gene by extracting cheek cells? a. Because the nucleus of every cell in the human body contains the same genetic information. b. Because the cheek cells are located near the cells of the eye and so they are able to exchange DNA. c. Because all genes in the human body are expressed at all times so it is easy to study them. d. All of the above are possible explanations. 1b) What is the purpose of heating the sample to 75°C following addition of the 0.2M NaOH solution? a. To denature the histone proteins that are keeping the DNA tightly coiled. b. To ensure that all the DNA is removed from the swab in preparation for PCR. c. To breakdown the cheek cell membrane to release the DNA from the cell. d. It breaks down the circular DNA down into linear fragments so that they will be easier to visualize.iarrow_forwardAnother way to study the role of proteins (e.g., transcription factors) that function in development is to microinject the mRNA that encodes a protein, or the purified protein itself, into an oocyte or embryo, and then determine how this affects the subsequent development of the embryo, larva, and adult. For example, if Bicoid protein is injected into the posterior region of an oocyte, the resulting embryo will develop into a larva that has anterior structures at both ends. Based on your understanding of the function of each developmental gene, what would be the predicted phenotype if the following proteins or mRNAs were injected into normal oocytes? A. Nanos mRNA injected into the anterior end of an oocyte B. Antp protein injected into the posterior end of an embryo C. Toll mRNA injected into the dorsal side of an early embryoarrow_forward
