In worms, the genes for the production of the enzyme Aldolase and the enzyme Hyclase are on the same chromosome. A = dominant, can produce Aldolase; a = recessive, cannot produce Aldolase. H = dominant, can produce Hyclase; h = recessive, cannot produce Hyclase.

You cross an AaHh worm with an aahh worm and get the following progeny:

16 Wild type

76 Do not produce Aldolase

82 Do not produce Hyclase

12 Produce neither Aldolase nor Hyclase

A) (3 pts) What is the haplotype for the AaHh parental worm? Explain your answer

B) (3 pts) What is the haplotype of the 16 wild type worms in the F1 generation? Explain your answer

C) (6 pts) What is the map distance between the aldolase and hyclase genes? Explain your work.

Consider the mechanism of cleavage catalyzed by the enzyme aldolase. What would be the products of the reaction if aldolase used glucose-6-phosphate as the substrate, instead of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (show the structures of glucose-6-phosphate and its products)? Based on your answer, suggest a possible rationale for why nature chose to include two extra steps prior to the aldolase step in glycolysis.

There is an enzyme “amylase” used in Bioethanol production at large scale. The enzyme has excellent Kcat and Km values but there is issue of thermostability. The enzyme cannot work beyond 50oC temperature which is not optimum for industry. We have been giving a target to increase its thermostability by using Rational Design. Can you please let us know that which region (Helix, Sheet, Loops) will be targeted to increase thermostability of enzyme and why?

5) Some crayfish species harbor small annelid worms that live in their gills. These worms keep the crayfish gills clean by feeding off of organisms that infest the crayfish gills. Thus, the worms potentially gain the benefit of food, transportation, and a site for reproduction and the crayfish potentially gain the benefit of reduced parasitism by other organisms. (24 pts) a. These worms will consume crayfish gill tissue when there is not enough other food available. For each scenario, make...

Given: bicoid genes are maternal genes; kruppel genes are gap genes, even-skipped genes are pair rule genes, gooseberry genes are gooseberry. Predict the effect of scenarios below on expression levels of each of these gene classes in the embryo described (will expression increase, decrease, or be unaffected?) and explain the reason for your prediction. a. a fly embryo has a mutation that blocks expression of the kruppel gene b. a fly embryo has a mutation that blocks expression of the...
