Following statements are regarding to the drosophila.

 A. At the completion of oogenesis, the bicoid message is anchored at the anterior end of the oocyte and the nanos message is tethered to the posterior end in translationally dormant condition.

 B. The translation inhibitors Smaug and CUP. Smaug binds to the 3’UTR of both bicoid and nanos mRNA and recruits the CUP protein that prevents the association of the message with the ribosome as well as recruiting other proteins that deadenylate the message and target it for degradation.

 C. The bicoid-Exuperantia complex is transported out of the nurse cells and into the oocyte via microtubules (Kinesin ATPase).

 D. Two other maternally provided mRNAs—caudal and hunchback are critical for patterning the anterior and posterior regions of the body plan, respectively.

undifferentiated hematopoietic stem cells would not express surface markers specific for mature cells from the multiple blood lineages (“Lin” markers). They used several approaches to eliminate cells in the bone marrow that did express these markers (Lin+ cells) and then examined the remaining (Lin+) population for its potential to continually give rise to all blood cells over the long term. Lin- cells were, indeed, enriched for this potential. what marker is   express If cells inter in lymphoid lineages?

In Neurospora, the mutant stp exhibits erratic stop-and start growth. When a female of stp strain is crossed with a normal strain acting as a male, all progeny individuals' showed stp mutant phenotype. However, the reciprocal cross resulted in all normal progeny, individuals. These results can be explained on the basis of

A. Uniparental gene contribution

B. Nuclear inheritance with concept of dominance

C. Sex link character

D. stp mutation may be located in chloroplast DNA

The most appropriate statement or combination of the above statements for explaining the experimental results is:
