Mig1 recruits a “repressing complex” containing the Tup1 protein. This complex is recruited by many yeast DNA-binding proteins that repress transcription, including the alpha2 protein involved in controlling the mating-type specific. Tup1 also has counterparts in mammalian cells, choose correct mechanisms have been proposed to explain the repressing effect of Tup1.

I-Tup1 acts on nucleosomes either through recruiting histone deacetylases and/or by positioning a nucleosome at or near the transcription start site.

II-Tup1 interacts directly with the transcriptional machinery at the promoter and inhibits initiation.

You cross a true breeding normal corn plant with a true breeding plant with variegated seed coat and colorless endosperm. You suspect the genes are linked, so you cross one of the resulting normal offspring to a true breeding variegated, colorless plant. What are your expected results if the genes are completely linked?
