    A reporter gene is an experimentally engineered regulatory DNA sequence from a gene of interest that has been fused to a gene that encodes a protein that is easily observed experimentally. Why is this approach useful? a. It provides information on the binding interactions of the gene product. b. It provides information into where and when a gene is expressed. c. It can provide information as to where a gene is expressed. d. It can provide information as to when...

    You are studying the regulatory DNA of a mouse gene expressed in developing heart, liver, and lung tissue. Your preliminary work has shown that heart and lung expression of this gene is controlled by a short fragment of DNA just upstream of the promoter. Based on this result, you decide to investigate this region further to understand its function. Part A You decide to compare this sequence to the regulatory DNA of the same gene found in rats and humans....

    When the regulatory region of the VND6 gene is fused to a GFP marker gene and a terminator and the construct introduced into plants, GFP is expressed in immature vascular cells. When the transcription unit of the VND6 gene is fused to a regulatory region that provides expression in non-vascular mesophyll cells in transgenic plants (i.e. misexpression), these cells turn into vessel elements that are normally found only in vascular tissues and are used for water transport. Based on these...

    You hypothesize that expression of Gene X, a gene for which you know the complete sequence in the organism of interest, may be an important contributor to the development of a phenotype (trait) that you study (e.g. eye development). What approach(es) would you use to manipulate the expression pattern of the gene to test your hypothesis?

    You hypothesize that a DNA sequence located 3.0 kb upstream of the promoter of a gene you are studying contains an enhancer. To test your hypothesis, you use recombinant DNA techniques to insert a DNA fragment containing this DNA sequence into a plasmid also containing a “reporter gene.” Note:A reporter gene encodes for a protein that you can detect when expressed. For example, you could use the lacZ gene that encodes for the enzyme β-Galactosidase as a reporter gene. As...
