  1. The allele b gives Drosophila flies a black body, and b+ gives brown, the wild-type phenotype. The allele wx of a separate gene gives waxy wings, and wx+ gives nonwaxy, the wild-type phenotype. The allele cn of a third gene gives cinnabar eyes, and cn+ gives red, the wild-type phenotype. A female heterozygous for these three genes is testcrossed, and 2,424 progeny (you could also use n=2,423) are classified as follows:

    cn+ · wx+ · b 101
    cn · wx+ · b+ 768
    cn · wx+ · b 20
    cn+ · wx+ · b+ 323
    cn+ · wx · b 848
    cn · wx · b+ 101
    cn · wx · b 242
    cn+ · wx · b+ 20


    Calculate the recombinant frequencies for  b-wx,  b-cn, and  wx-cn.

    Which gene is in the middle: b, wx, or cn?

PREPARATION OF COMPETENT CELLS and TRANSFORMATION:

2a. We will be preparing competent MM294 (E. coli) cells using a chemical treatment of CaCl2. What are MM294 cells, why do we use them? Define “competent” cells and describe why/how CaCl2 makes cells “competent”. Why is “mid-log” phase important? Support your drawing with a cartoon of what cells “look like” before and after treatment.

2b. What does “heat-shock” do (in the transformation procedure)?

2c. What is LB? What does “LB” stand for and what is its role in cloning? What would happen if LB was NOT on the plates?
