- The normal sequence of markers on a certain Drosophila chromosome is ABCDE*FGHIJK, where the asterisk represents the centromere. Some flies were isolated with a chromosome aberration that has the following structure: ABCDE*FIJK . This represents a O a) deletion of GH segment O b) inversion of GH segment O c) deletion O d) deletion of centromereEC1. In drosophila the cw (curly wings) gene and eb (ebony body) genes are found on the same chromosome 20 map units apart. A cross was made between an ebony bodied parental strain and a curly winged parental strain and the F1’s were test crossed. a) What are the genotypes of the parental strains? b) What are the genotypes of the F1’s? c) What is the genotype of the tester strain? d) What progeny phenotypes and genotypes do you expect, and in what proportions? For phenotypes use the mutant phenotype for any that the flies have, and wild-type if they have none. EC2. Here is a tetrad produced by mating a H Y strain to an h y strain. a) What is the tetrad type? b) What has recombined with what? EC3. In corn, a dihybrid for the recessive genes a and b is test-crossed. The distribution of the phenotypes is as follows: A B 122A b 118a B 81a b 79 a) Do the genes appear to be sorting independently? Look at map units here. b) Test your hypothesis with a chi-squared test.4) Explain why you can NOT typically have a Male Calico cat. 5) Can you think of any unusual situation where you might be able to have a Male Calico cat? Explain how this might occur 6) Explain how X chromosome inactivation takes place in mammals at the chromosomal and molecular level. B. What genes are involved in inactivating a human X chromosome? C. What role does X chromosome-specific inactivating transcript --XIST-- non coding RNA play in the inactivation of the human X chromosome.
- Determination of phenotypic sex in fruit flies is controlled by: A) alternative splicing B) DNA methylation C) RNA interference D) The CRIPSR mechanism Give typing answer with explanation and conclusionUsing Drosophila notation: A.) Diagram the genotype of a female fly that is recessive for apterus (ap, chromosome 2), heterozygous wild-type for black (b, chromosome 2), recessive for forked (f, x-chromosome), and homozygous wild type for rosy (ry, chromosome 3). B.) Diagram the genotype of a male fly that is heterozygous for clot (ct) eyes (an autosomal gene) and has yellow (y) body color (x-linked gene).In Drosophila subobscura, the presence of a recessive gene called grandchildless (gs) causes the offspring of homozygous females, but not those of homozygous males, to be sterile. Can you offer an explanation as to why females and not males are affected by the mutant gene?
- Figure 19.25 shows that the Sxl protein binds to the mRNA of the msl-2 gene, inhibiting translation of the mRNA’s proper reading frame. The MSL-2 protein is a transcription factor that binds to the X chromosome in XY males to double the level of X-linked gene transcription, thus equalizing X-linked gene expression in XY males and XX females. a. In which sex, XY males or XX females, would the Sxl protein bind to the msl-2 mRNA? b. As discussed in Problem 35, some Sxl alleles are lethal to females and others are lethal to males. Is the function of Sxl in regulating the synthesis of Msl-2 protein sufficient to explain the sex-specific lethality caused by both kinds of alleles? c. Predict the effect of loss-of-function mutations in msl-2 on male and female fertility and viability.Which of the following applies to the female sex determination in Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies? (Mark all that apply) When the X:A ratio is 1.0, the SXL gene is transcribed during the early embryonic stages. The SXL protein inhibits the expression of female differentiaion genes The SXL protein promotes the correct splicing of the Tra pre-mRNA so that functional Tra protein is made. The presence of the SXL protein promotes the correct splicing of the SXL pre-mRNA during later embryonic stages to ensure to continuous production of SXL protein. The Tra protein will stimulate the expression of male-specific genes.You are interested in studying position effect variegation in Drosophila using the chromosome depicted below: Deactivation of the w+ gene gives a white eye phenotype and deactivation of the rst+ gene gives a rough eye phenotype; the normal phenotypes are red and smooth. Because the rst+ and w+ genes have now been placed close to a heterochromatic domain, some sections (or sectors) of the eye display mutant phenotypes due to gene deactivation while others display the normal, wild type phenotype. Which phenotype would you not expect to see rst w Inverted X chromosome white smooth eye sectors white rough eye sectors red smooth eye sectors red rough eye sectors
- In drosophila, a recessive mutation (m-) of a maternal effect gene results in an abnormal phenotype wherein homozygous (m-m-) females produce eggs that cannot support embryonic development. Homozygous (m-m-) males, however, can still produce viable sperm. (A) Using m+ to denote a normal gene, determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the F1s produce by a cross between a heterozygous female and a recessive male. (B) From the offspring, backcross the recessive female with the paternal strain. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the F2s? (C) If m-m- females produce useless eggs, then how are m-m- produced?In drosophila, a recessive mutation (m-) of a maternal effect gene results in an abnormalphenotype wherein homozygous (m-m-) females produce eggs that cannot support embryonicdevelopment.

To study these mutations, phenotypically normal female flies that are homozygous for the given bicoid mutation were obtained, and their oocytes were analyzed using a Northern blot to determine the size and/or amount of the bicoid mRNA and in situ hybridization to determine the bicoid mRNA location within the oocyte. A wild-type strain was also analyzed as a control. In both cases, the probe was complementary to the bicoid mRNA and the results are shown below. (Anterior is on the left; posterior is on the right.)
