Specific cells that appear undifferentiated under the microscope but are already fated to become muscle cells are called _____.

We talked about the genes controlling our ability to digest lactose, the sugar found in milk. Collectively the enzymes produced by the set of genes involved are called lactase. "Lactose intolerance" describes the most common condition in human adults, which is an inability to digest lactose because lactase is not produced. These people could all produce lactase as infants, however, so they have the genes needed to produce functional enzymes. Somehow the regulation of expression of the genes changes as most people grow up.

People who can digest lactose as adults are said to be "lactase persistent", that is, they continue to produce lactase even in adulthood. Ponder the genetic mechanisms for regulating the expression of the genes producing lactase and describe three feasible hypotheses for mutations affecting the regulating mechanisms that would enable a person to produce lactase as an adult.

a) Describe, in detail, how a genetic cross can be used to identify the number of genes involved in major changes in body form between two different organisms.

b) If you found a group of similar species living on nearby islands, describe in detail a method you could use to determine their exact evolutionary relationship to each other.

c) Describe, in detail, how a mutation in the intracellular domain of MC1R could change the coat color in rock pocket from light to dark.

d) Besides looking for microfossils, describe another test you could perform on rocks from 3-4 billion years ago to find evidence that life existed at that time?
