Drosophila geneticists have isolated many mutations that modify position-effect variegation. Dominant suppressors of variegation

[Su(var)s] cause less fre- quent inactivation of genes brought near heterochro- matin by chromosome rearrangements, while dominant enhancers of variegation [E(var)s] cause more frequent inactivation of such genes.
A. What effects would each of these two kinds of mutations have on position-effect variegation of the white gene in Drosophila (that is, would the eyes be more red or more white)?
B. Assuming that these Su(var) and E(var) mutations are loss-of-function (null) alleles in the corresponding genes, what kinds of proteins do you think these genes encode?

Answer:

A. As it is given that Su(var) dominant suppressors of variegation mutant allele causes lesser white patches and more red patches in eyes as it is an inhibits or inactivates of PEV. If the Drosophila were heterozygous for the dominant enhancers of variegation E(var) mutation, there would be less red patches and more white patches.

b. Su(var) 1 gene encodes for the proteins that assist in the spreading of heterochromatin by inhibits the PEV which will be lost by null mutations while E(var)1 gene encodes for the proteins that restrict the spreading of heterochromatin by loss of function mutation

The nucleus has a system of _____ embedded within its outer membrane which allows communication between the nucleus interior and
Bumek [7]

Answer:

pores

Explanation:

The nucleus consists of "nuclear pores" on its outer membrane. Each of these are surrounded by <em>nuclear pore complex.</em> It allows the pore to <u>regulate the movement of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm.</u> It allows small particles to pass through such as ribosomal proteins. It prevents most large particles<em> (except for histone)</em> from passing through; thus, <u>it is selective in nature</u>. This function of the pores clearly shows that <em>it allows communication to occur between the nucleus interior and the cytoplasm.</em>

Which antibiotic factors would you expect to influence the growth of trees in the mountains
Rainbow [258]
The abiotic factors that affect plant growth and development include topography, soil, and climatic factors. They are the nonliving components of the environment which, along with the biotic or living factors, determine the extent in which the genetically-dictated characters are expressed in the plant.
