Drosophila females are capable of storing sperm and using it to fertilize eggs long after mating. How might this present a problem for a geneticist?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology
  1. IN ORDER TO DESIGN A SPECIFIC CROSS, FEMALES MUST BE PREVENTED FROM MATING WITH ANY OTHER STRAIN OF MALES.
  2. This allows Drosophila females to "select" sperm from the stronger male.
  3. Individual offspring from these females may have more than one father.
  4. This should not present a problem for a geneticist; it is merely a reproductive advantage to the fly if the population size is low.

Many bacterial responses are controlled by two component regulatory systems. What will happen at the high concentration of glutamine and at the low concentration of glutamine?

a) At high concentrations glutamine binds to a sensor domain of NtrB conformational change in the protein that inhibits its histidine kinase activity

b) NtrC phosphorylation takes place causes a conformational change in NtrC that unmasks the NtrC DNA-binding domain so that it can bind to the glnA enhancers

c) At the same time, the regulatory domain of NtrC blocks its DNA-binding domain from binding the glnA enhancers

d) At low concentrations of glutamine dissociates from the sensor domain in the NtrB protein, leading to activation of a histidine kinase transmitter domain
