Let’s say there is a gene known as X that is expressed in the developing forebrain and midbrain (located anteriorly), and a gene known as Y that is expressed in the developing hindbrain (located posteriorly). Describe one experiment to confirm that another gene, Z, which encodes a transcription factor, activates the expression of Y but represses the expression of X in the developing hindbrain; be sure to include your expected result.

Expert Solution

To determine whether Z gee is responsible for the activation of Y gene and repression of X gene in the hind brain portion of mice, following experiment may be performed

Two mice model are taken. In one mice, Z gene is made mutated or the Z gene may be knocked out. In other mice no such changes are made in Z gene.

During development of hind brain, the transcriptome analysis from hind brain will be performed by northern blot or microarray technique from both the mice. If we observe that in the mice in which Z gene is mutated or excised out, Y gene is repressed and X gene is activated and in the mice in which Z gene was normal, Y gene is activated and X gene is suppressed in the hind brain, then we can conclude that definitely, Z gene has a role in X gene repression and Y gene suppression in the hind brain portion of mice.

1.You are studying gene X, a methylation sensitive gene. You observe that when X is expressed, there is also a non-coding transcript, Y, that is expressed on the same chromosome. –Outline experimental methods/techniques to investigate how Y can regulate the expression of gene X through methylation. Explain what each method would produce. 2.Explain what is meant by chromatin remodeling AND give an example of the molecular machinery involved.

In cactus, the relationship between Gene S and Gene N is known to be epistatic. Gene S controls the sharpness of spines in a type of cactus. Cacti with the dominant allele, S, have sharp spines, whereas homozygous recessive ss cacti have dull spines. At the same time, the second gene, N, determines whether or not cacti have spines. Homozygous recessive nn cacti have no spines at all. Briefly explain why this genetic interaction is considered epistasis. Which gene is...

How would you audit the automobile revenues (say $100 billion) of General Motors? Let’s say that each car and truck has an invoice on the window and in GM's computer system, and that 8 million cars and trucks were sold. Then, how many invoices out of 8 million should you want to examine (audit) in order to verify the $100 billion of revenues in the financial statements? So, you, as the auditor, would feel “comfortable” to sign the auditor’s report...

Let’s say you and a friend eat the same foods in the same amounts for the same period of time, but only one of you loses weight. How is that possible? How does obesity relate to type 2 diabetes, heart problems, or blood pressure issues? Do you think obesity is a global problem? What advice would you give to someone who wants to lose weight by reducing their caloric intake, but isn’t sure where to start?
