When 1 million cells of a culture of haploid yeastcarrying a met− auxotrophic mutation were plated onpetri plates lacking methionine (Met), five coloniesgrew. You would expect cells in which the originalmet− mutation was reversed (by a base change back tothe original sequence) would grow on the media lackingmethionine, but some of these apparent reversions couldbe due to a mutation in a different gene that somehowsuppresses the original met− mutations. How wouldyou be able to determine if the mutations in your fivecolonies were due either to a precise reversion of theoriginal met− mutation or to the generation of a suppressor mutation in a gene on another chromosome?

Proto-oncogenes can be converted to oncogenes in a numberof different ways. In some cases, the proto-oncogene itselfbecomes amplified up to hundreds of times in a cancer cell.An example is the cyclin D1 gene, which is amplified in somecancers. In other cases, the proto-oncogene may be mutatedin a limited number of specific ways, leading to alterations inthe gene product’s structure. The ras gene is an example of aproto-oncogene that becomes oncogenic after suffering pointmutations in specific regions of the gene. Explain why thesetwo proto-oncogenes (cyclin D1 and ras) undergo such differentalterations to convert them into oncogenes

One histone modification that is seen consistently inmany species is the addition of an acetyl group to thetwelfth lysine in the H4 protein. If you were a geneticist working on yeast and had a clone of the H4 gene,what could you do to test whether the acetylation atthis specific lysine was necessary for the functioningof chromatin?
The completely synthetic yeast chromosome Syn IIIcontains a loxP site in the 3′ UTR of every gene thatis potentially nonessential to yeast survival. As youwill recall from Chapter 6, loxP sites are targets ofsite-specific recombination. The researchers who constructed Syn III included these loxP sites as a way to“scramble” the chromosome, meaning that parts ofthe chromosome could easily be deleted or rearranged.The goal of these investigations is to drive the evolution of Syn III so as to define a minimal genome thatcan support the life of this organism. Outline the experiment the researchers would do to scramble Syn IIIin order to define a minimal genome.

Your friend sends you two cancerous cel| lines to examine and determine possible mutations. The results are shown below: Cell Line Mutation WT none (wild type DNA) 1 a deletion at the same region on both copies of chromosome 4 2 a point mutation in a gene on only one copy of chromosome 7 You learn that cell line 2 is a breast cancer cell line that expresses a mutant version of a receptor protein called KIT. Based on this data, which of the following is true ? Select all that apply Activation of KIT promotes progression through the cell cycle Activation of KIT releases an inhibition of a cyclin Activation of KIT causes cells to enter GO O Activation of KIT promotes cells to undergo apoptosis
One hallmark of cancer cells is their ability to divideindefinitely, in contrast with most normal somaticcells that undergo senescence after 30 to 50 generations of divisions. We saw in this chapter that one reason for this difference is that many cancer cellsexpress the telomerase enzyme that can mediate telomere lengthening.Interestingly, about 15% of tumors do not expresstelomerase. Instead, they lengthen their telomeres byan alternative pathway. Tumor cells of this class appear to have telomeres that are highly heterogenous inlength; some telomeres have many more TTAGGGrepeats than others.a. Diagram an event involving homologous recombination that would allow some telomeres in thesecells to become longer. What feature(s) of telomeresmake(s) such homologous recombination possible?b. Does this recombination need to occur between homologous telomeres (that is, telomeres of the samearm of the same chromosome)? If such recombination could occur between nonhomologous telomeres, how might…
I. The retinoic acid receptor (RAR) is a transcription factor that is similar to steroid hormone receptors. Thesubstance (ligand) that binds to this receptor is retinoicacid. One of the genes whose transcription is activatedby retinoic acid binding to the receptor is myoD. Thediagram that follows shows a schematic view of theRAR proteins produced by genes into which one oftwo different 12-base double-stranded oligonucleotides had been inserted in the ORF. The insertion site(a–m) associated with each mutant protein is indicatedwith the appropriate letter on the polypeptide map.For constructs encoding proteins a–e, oligonucleotide 1(5′ TTAATTAATTAA 3′ read off either strand) wasinserted into the RAR gene. For constructs encoding proteins f–m, oligonucleotide 2 (5′ CCGGCCGGCCGG 3′)was inserted into the gene.NH2 f g h i j k l m COOHa b c d eThe wild-type RAR protein can both bind DNA and activate transcription weakly in the absence of retinoic acid(RA) and strongly in RA’s presence.

The localization of Ase1 and the phenotype of its deletion imply that this protein binds to anti-parallel Microtubules. What would you expect for the organization of a protein that has this property?
Knock out mice that are mutant for a gene product X die. Variants of the X gene that were reintroduced through homologous recombination indicate that variant proteins that lack the C-terminal region of the protein cannot rescue the lethality (did not allow them to live), and always localized to the cytoplasm. Those that retained the C-terminal region rescued the lethality (conferred viability!) and were consistently localized within the nucleus. RNA-seq analysis of the mutant cells vs the wild-type cells indicated that the expression of many genes that are essential for neural function was reduced in the knock-out mutant cells. The N-terminal region of Protein X is 100% conserved between mouse and humans at both the amino acid and the nucleotide level. The predicted mouse mRNA sequence is shown below where the AUG corresponds to the translational start site (AUG). 5’-AUGUUUACAGAGGGGAAU... -3’ Q3a) Using a total RNA sample obtained from human cells, what is the first primer you would…
