Experimental results have shown that the fusion of RS domain to Sxl (RS-Sx) retained the function of Sxl+. RS-Sx results in the female specific splicing of tra pre-mRNA. Male flies with RS-Sx transgene show male specific lethality due to the function of Sxl protein. Female flies with RS-Sx transgene are normal.

the following scenarios require application of CRISPR-cas9 technology. Identify which technologies are the best fit for each research scenario Cas9 and HDR 1. Researchers want to make an endonuclease that binds to target DNA, but does not cut the DNA. This will allow them to target specific areas of the genome for other modifications without making cuts. dCas9 dCas9 and repression domain 2. Researchers are studying a proposed oncogene in mice. They want to examine what happens when the gene...
Question 7 (1 point) CRISPR/Cas9 is often used to make mutations in zebrafish. Which statement is most correct? Capping the sgRNA is essential for its stability. The Cas9 mRNA is is used to target the native Cas9 protein to the locus to be mutated. the sgRNA uses DICER to cut up a the twenty nucleotide target region of the DNA, starting at the 3-prime end. O neomycin is used to select the cells that inherit the Cas9 insertion. O the...
2. A dominant allele H reduces the number of body bristles that Drosophila flies have, giving rise to a “hairless” phenotype. In the homozygous condition, H is lethal. An independently assorting dominant allele S has no effect on bristle number except in the presence of H, in which case a single dose of S suppresses the hairless phenotype, thus restoring the "hairy" phenotype. However, S also is lethal in the homozygous (S/S) condition. What ratio of hairy to hairless flies...
