Answer:

The sea stars or starfish are the Echinoderms and belongs to the class Asteroidea. The species thrives in the ocean's seafloor. Various starfishes thrives in deep water, while some are also witnessed in shallow water. Though starfish are invertebrates, however, they do exhibit a certain type of skeleton. The bodies of starfish are formed of the plates of calcium carbonate called ossicles. The external and internal characteristics suggest that the starfish are arranged in the pattern of fives, that is, starfish exhibit five organs, which forms the water vascular system, and they function as an organ system, these organs are sieve plate, radial canal, ring canal, ampullae, and tube feet.

Starfish are most recognized for having five arms, as most species of it do. However, they also have five canals on the underside of each of the arms which enable them to feed themselves and more. In addition, they have small suction cups under each arm called tube feet that help them move.

Suppose we were successful in identifying 12 mutants using a screen for identifying conditional mutants of S. cerevisiae in whic
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Each mutant would be mated to wild type and to every other mutant to create diploid strains. The diploids would be assayed for growth at permissive and restrictive temperature. Diploids formed by mating a mutant to a wild type that can grow at restrictive temperatures identify the mutation as recessive. Only recessive mutations can be studied using complementation analysis. Diploids formed by mating two recessive mutants identify mutations in the same gene if the diploid cannot grow at restrictive temperature (non-complementation), and they identify mutations in different genes if the diploids can grow at restrictive temperature (complementation).

Explanation:

Recessive mutations are those whose phenotypic effects are only visible in homo-zygous individuals. Moreover, a complementation test is a genetic technique used to determine if two different mutations associated with a phenotype colocalize in the same <em>locus</em> (i.e., they are alleles of the same gene) or affect two different <em>loci</em>.  In diploid (2n) organisms, this test is performed by crossing two homo-zygous recessive mutants and then observing whether offspring have the wild-type phenotype. When two different recessive mutations localize in different <em>loci</em>, they can be considered as 'complementary' since the heterozygote condition may rescue the function lost in homo-zygous recessive mutants. In consequence, when two recessive mutations are combined in the same genetic background (i.e., in the same individual) and they produce the same phenotype, it is possible to determine that both mutations are alleles of the same gene/<em>locus</em>.

Which two globin genes are most divergent from each other? what is the percent amino acid identity between them?
tiny-mole [99]

Globin 1 and globin 2 genes of insects are understood to have diverged approximately 170 million years ago, through duplication, from a common globin gene ancestor. The two genes that code for haemoglobin have conserved regions; oxygen-binding and heme- regions. Globin 2 gene has lost the intron region that is still present in the globin 1 gene. The percentage divergence is 7.2% with 20 varying nucleotides.
