What kind of experiment can be done in order to figure out
whether the gene is autonomous or non-autonomous?
Please tell the process and the principle of the experiment .
An automous gene produces a genetic trait which is expressed only in geneotypically mutant cells of that particular trait. These gene products don't interfere in cell to cell interactions.
A non autonomous trait mutant genotypic cells cause other cells to exhibit the mutant phenotype. Non-autonomous gene product is usually a signalling molecule which takes part in cell - cell signalling.
Mosaic analysis is used to determine whether a gene is autonomous or not in the body of the organism.It has two parts
1) A patch of mutant cells/ lineage is produced by using various techniques in a wild type (non mutant ) animal.
For this various techniques can be used such as mitotically unstable free duplication of chromosomes in C.elegans. Using Chimeras, cre-lox recombination or introduction of homozygous ipscs in mouse.
2) A marker for autonomous cell is generated to identify between mutated and wild type cells.
In C.elegans certains mutations affect the size of the nucleolus which can be identified using fluorescent microscopy by specific staining of the nucleolus.
Nowadays autonomous and non autonomous genes are identified using cell lines too. Mutated cell types of a particular gene are cultured with those of wild types. Reporter genes can be used to identify the mutated versions of the genes. Techniques like western blotting, PCR etc can be used to know whether the gene product exhibits some change in the nearby cells.

Developmental Biology The figure below is a description of the experiment done by Otto Mangold in which he transplanted tissues from specific regions (donor) of gastrulae into similar stage gastrulae (host). Explain the different outcomes. What principle of specification does this figure demonstrate? What is the other principle of specification that is not demonstrated by this figure? (E) Young gastrula dorsal lip transplanted (F) Advanced gastrula dorsal lip transplanted
To figure out how a gene leads to disease, it needs to be analysed in both loss-of-function (LOF) and gain-of-function (GOF) studies. What do LOF and GOF studies tell you about a gene and why are they important?
What kind of experiment would allow you to test that the posterior cytoplasm can cause the formation of germ cells? How can kinesin and microtubules contribute to the formation of the germ cells?

EXPERIMENT 3: STOCHASTIC EVENTS 21. What observations can you make regarding the gene pool and gene frequency of the founding individuals? 22. Do these results vary between beakers #1 and #2? Why or why not? 23. What observations can you make about the genetic variation between the parent and founding populations? How does the source of the founding population (Beaker 1 or Beaker 2) influence these results? 24. How will future generations from Beaker 3 differ from those of their...

Consider another system which gave out 62.55 Cal of heat, what kind of work would be needed in order to keep the internal energy of the system unchanged? Hint: the magnitude of the work and sign of the work (work done to the system or done by the system to surroundings)
What kind of capital movements in and out of a country can cause harm to the country?
please draw out picture for the experiment * NOW design an experiment to determine whether your new protein (83 amino acids long discovered in the prev in the previous question) is really a serine protease inhibitor. Explain the techniques agents you will use. Draw schematics of the key experiment and expected results as appropriate. Clearly indicate your positive and negative controls.
Do an experiment; try something you’ve never done before and see what happens. It can be a social, physical, or intellectual experiment. Actively evaluate the results of the experiment to extract what you’ve learned. Does this motivate you to do additional experiments?
