The Wnt planar polarity signaling pathway nor-mally ensures that each wing cell in Drosophila has a sin-gle hair. Overexpression of the Frizzled gene from a heat-shock promoter (hs-Fz) causes multiple hairs to grow frommany cells (Figure Q15–5A). This phenotype is suppressedif hs-Fz is combined with a heterozygous deletion (DshΔ)of the Dishevelled gene (Figure Q15–5B). Do these resultsallow you to order the action of Frizzled and Dishevelledin the signaling pathway? If so, what is the order? Explainyour reasoning
Which statements are true? Explain why or why not.1 In terms of the way it interacts with DNA, thehelix–loop–helix motif is more closely related to the leu-cine zipper motif than it is to the helix–turn–helix motif.2 Once cells have differentiated to their final spe-cialized forms, they never again alter expression of theirgenes.3 CG islands are thought to have arisen during evo-lution because they were associated with portions of thegenome that remained unmethylated in the germ line.4 In most differentiated tissues, daughter cells retaina memory of gene expression patterns that were presentin the parent cell through mechanisms that do not involvechanges in the sequence of their genomic DNA.

“In the early Drosophila embryo, the establishment of different body regionor tissues along, on the one hand, the anteroposterior axis and, on theother, the dorsoventral axis are initiated by clues provided by the egg’smother; however the nature of those signals and the way in which theyoperate is completely different”. Discuss whether this statement is correct.

By comparing gene expression profiles between primary cells and TONSL-overexpressing cells, researchers can identify genes whose expression levels are significantly altered. This analysis not only sheds light on the direct targets of TONSL but also unveils broader regulatory networks and pathways influenced by TONSL overexpression. Moreover, by pinpointing key genes involved, researchers can discern potential molecular mechanisms underlying the observed phenotypic changes associated with TONSL overexpression, offering valuable insights into TONSL's role in cellular homeostasis and function. Furthermore, functional enrichment analysis stands as a complementary approach to understanding the…
"Schematic outline of melanogenesis. UVR stimulates the expression of POMC by keratinocytes. The peptide produced is the precursor of the hormone a-MSH, that binds to MC1R in melanocytes. This union leads to an increase in cellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) that in turn leads to increased levels of MITF expression, which upregulates the transcription of TYR, TYRP1 and TYRP2, producing brown-black eumelanin. In the absence of a-MSH, the antagonist ASIP binds to MC1R, and phaeomelanin is synthetized instead. Melanosomes are then transferred to keratinocytes through the dendrites via a shedding vesicle system." Briefly discuss how these several aspects of the molecular and cellular biology of melanin production and melanosome transfer contribute to determine skin color. How would different mutations in the hormonal response to ultraviolet light, the melanin production signal transduction pathways, and melanosome transfer influence skin color, hair color, and eye color? Did…
Which statements are true? Explain why or why not.1 The chemical carcinogen dimethylbenz[a]anthra-cene (DMBA) must be an extraordinarily specific mutagensince 90% of the skin tumors it causes have an A-to-T alter-ation at exactly the same site in the mutant Ras gene.2 In the cellular regulatory pathways that controlcell growth and proliferation, the products of oncogenesare stimulatory components and the products of tumorsuppressor genes are inhibitory components.3 Cancer therapies directed solely at killing the rap-idly dividing cells that make up the bulk of a tumor areunlikely to eliminate the cancer from many patients.4 The main environmental causes of cancer are theproducts of our highly industrialized way of life such aspollution and food additives.

Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion to all parts The pharmaceutical (−)-trans-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a metabolite that is biosynthesized specifically the glandular trichome cells of the plant species Cannabis sativa. The gene that catalyzes that last step in THC biosynthesis, namely THC ACID SYNTHASE (THCAS), is expressed exclusively in the glandular trichome cells of the plant and no other cell types. Given that all cell types arise from stem cells that have identical DNA, explain how glandular trichome cells develop unique morphology and why THCAS is expressed exclusively in that cell type.
. An interesting mutation in lacI results in repressorswith 110-fold increased binding to both operator andnonoperator DNA. These repressors display a “reverse”induction curve, allowing β-galactosidase synthesis inthe absence of an inducer (IPTG) but partly repressingβ-galactosidase expression in the presence of IPTG. Howcan you explain this? (Note that, when IPTG binds a repressor, it does not completely destroy operator affinity,but rather it reduces affinity 110-fold. Additionally, ascells divide and new operators are generated by thesynthesis of daughter strands, the repressor must findthe new operators by searching along the DNA, rapidlybinding to nonoperator sequences and dissociating fromthem.)
