C. elegans is a nematode that is an excellent model system to probe protein function during early development. Inactivation of t
he C. elegans lis-1 gene results in a defect in the position of nuclei in certain neuronal cells during development. a.If you wanted to ask whether lis-1 was interacting in cooperation with dynein, what result might you expect to see in animals with inactivated dynein?
b.If you had fluorescently labeled lis-1 and dynein proteins, where would you expect to find them in the animal?
You should find that plain tap water produces a much larger, stable drop of water on top of the penny than the soapy water does. This is because plain tap water has higher surface tension, so the surface is "stronger" and can hold together a larger drop.
