6. Isolating spontaneous yeast mutants is typically performed in haploid rather than diploid strains. What is the main rationale for doing this?
Isolation of spontaneous yeast mutants is generally performed in haploid strains. This is due to the fact that it is easier to identify recessive mutants in the haploid background. Haploid strains contain a single set of the genome. So, mutation of the single allele results in the phenotype for a recessive allele
.
If we take a diploid yeast strain, both the alleles have to be
mutated for the recessive phenotype to appear. So, the diploid M1
population is allowed to self to produce M2 so that recessive
allele can attain homozygosity i.e. we have to look for the
recessive phenotype in the next generation. If we use a haploid
strain, we can observe the phenotype in the M1 generation
itself.
Dominant mutations can appear in
both homozygous and heterozygous conditions.

What mutants are in the same complementation group as M4? Select as many as apply. Question 17. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (also called budding yeast or baker's yeast) normally makes LARGE colonies on the Petri dish. The fungus can exist as either a haploid or as a diploid. As a geneticist, you decide to isolate haploid mutants with altered size of colonies. You collect 6 such haploid mutants, which you arbitrarily name M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, and M6. To determine how...

please help with part A and B. 2. A yeast geneticist isolates two different haploid mutant yeast strains, Strain A and Strain B, which cannot grow unless the amino acid leucine is added to the growth media. Wild-type yeast strains can make their own leucine and do not require that it be added to the growth media. The geneticist discovers that each mutant yeast strain contains a single recessive mutation that leads to the observed leucine-requiring phenotype. When she crosses...
you have isolated spontaneous mutations in the LEU6 gene of a haploid strain of the yeast S. cerevisiae. Some of your mutations result in a complete loss of LEU6 gene function. You reason that this phenotype may be due to insertion of a mobile DNA element into the gene. To test this idea, you sequence the LEU6 region ion from several of your mutants and compare the DNA to the previously determined sequence for LEU6 in the parental strain. Numerous...
Haploid yeast cells that preferentially repair double-strand breaks by homologous recombination (rather than by non-homologous end joining) are especially sensitive to agents that cause double-strand breaks in DNA. If the breaks occur in the G1 phase of the cell cycle, most cells will die; however, if the breaks occur in the G2 phase, a much higher fraction of cells survive. Why do you suppose this is?
What is a production possibilities frontier? Why is it typically drawn as a curve rather than a straight line? How can a frontier explain the concept of productive efficiency? Provide examples and explain your answer.

6. The cells of some organisms other than animals and yeast (such as bacteria) carry out fermentation using molecules other than pyruvate, which are similarly reduced as pyruvate is. What is the goal of fermentation and why is the reduction of some molecule (whether it be pyruvate or some other molecule) important to achieve this goal? What would happen if the organism is unable to carry out this fermentation? 7. You want to study the enzymes that function in glycolysis,...
Bio 121 I need to make (yeast fermentation) lab report. This is the lab experiment and results: This is a guide to making the lab report: General Biology BIO121 Yeast Fermentation Lab Introduction Organisms stay alive by the utilization of energy through metabolism. The energy acquiring pathways in photosynthesis convert radiant energy from the sun into the chemical bond energy of carbohydrates. This photosynthetic process is limited to the producers or autotrophs, which include plants, photosynthetic bacteria and some protists....
Case study Company Case Campbell Soup Company: Watching What You Eat You might think that a well-known, veteran consumer products company like the Campbell Soup Company has it made. After all, when people think of soup, they think of Campbell’s. In the $5 billion U.S. soup market, Campbell dominates with a 44 percent share. Selling products under such an iconic brand name should be a snap. But if you ask Denise Morrison, CEO of Campbell, she’ll tell you a different...
