What role do phosphatases play in signal transduction pathways?

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling
  1. They transfer a phosphate group from one protein in the pathway to the next molecule in the series.

  2. They activate protein kinases by phosphorylation.

  3. They amplify the second messenger cAMP.

  4. They inactivate protein kinases to turn off signal transduction.

A three point test cross was carried out in Drosophila melanogaster involving three adjacent genes A, B and C. arranged in the same order. The distance between A to B is 15 map unit (mu) and that between B to C is 30 map. The coefficient of coincidence = 0.67. What is the percentage of double recombinants in the progeny obtained from the testcross?

What is the difference between a linkage map and a physical map?

a) Genetic maps are based on recombination frequencies, but physical maps are based on restriction digestion.

b) Physical DNA map describes the absolute position of genes on a chromosome while genetic map so variable

c) Genetic maps are important to identify the origin of diseases, whether they are inherited or arise due to a random mutation.

In tomatoes, tall (D) is dominant over dwarf (d) and smooth fruit (P) is dominant over pubescent fruit (p), which is covered with fine hairs. A farmer has two tall andsmooth tomato plants, which we will call plant A and plant B. The farmer crosses plants A and B with the same dwarf and pubescent plant and obtains the following numbers of progeny

a. The genotypes of both plant A and plant B are DdPp

b. In plant A, Gene D and Gene P link as cis configuration

c. In plant B, Gene D and Gene P link as cis configuration

d. In plant A, Gene D and Gene P link as trans configuration

e. In plant B, Gene D and Gene P link as trans configuration
