How is the ABC model for floral identity in Arabidopsis similar to the models for homeotic gene function derived from studies in Drosophila?

#SCPH06 I Botany
  1. The key resposnsibility of homeotic genes in both is patterning of dorsal-ventral asymmetry.
  2. In both organisms, one homeotic gene is expressed at the two ends, a second expressed in to domains more central to that of the first and a third expressed more centrally, thus contributing unambiguous identities to all regions of the organism.
  3. In both organisms, homeotic genes interact, so that it is often the combination of genes present that is critical in specifying structure in adult.

  4. The ABC model of Arabidopsis is essentially identical to the Drosophila model for homeotic gene function, in that the Drosophila version of the A gene is abdominal-A, the Drosophila version of the B gene is Abdominal-B, and the Drosophila version of the C gene is Ultrabithorax.

To express a yeast gene in E. coli, your task is to design a strategy to insert the yeast gene into the bacterial plasmid. Below is a map of the area of the yeast genome surrounding the gene in which you are interested.

 
The distance between each tick mark placed on the line above is 100 bases in length
Below are the enzymes you can use, with their specific cut sites shown 5’-XXXXXX-3’ 3’-XXXXXX-5’

 
The plasmid is 5,000 bases long and the two farthest restriction enzyme sites are 200 bases apart. The plasmid has an ampicillin resistance gene somewhere on the plasmid distal from the restriction cut sites.

                              
Which of the following restriction enzyme is the best choice for you use to design a way to get the insert into the vector?
