Homework Answers
Answer: Option C is correct
Explanation:
Telomerase is an RNA dependent DNA polymerase. It is a ribozyme
that is responsible for the Maintainance of the chromosomal
ends.
All eukaryotic cells contain telomerase.
Yeast cells are unicellular eukaryotes. They do contain their own
telomerase. So, we do not need to co-transform telomerase construct
along with the gene of interest.
In humans, many cancers are associated with the accumulation of
loss of function mutations at telomerase locus.

You wish to edit a gene in a population of stem cells using CRISPR/Cas9. You design a plasmid and transfect it into the cells. Your plasmid included the guide RNA sequence with promoter, the Cas9 gene inserted between an appropriate promoter and termination sequence, and the usual Origin of Replication and Resistance/Marker gene. However, instead of being edited, your target gene is silenced and its protein is not produced at all. What is the most likely explanation? The cells have...

You have isolated a strain of brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) in the lab for your second job at a hip new microbrew (you make a great IPA). You find that this strain ferments more efficiently and adds a superior flavour profile to your brews. You want to clone the strain of yeast and generate a genomic library to determine the genes responsible for this finding. To do so you: 1. Obtain fragments of the whole yeast genome (DNA) through restriction...

BACKGROUND READING: The Gates Foundation is interested in developing vaccines, and supports the Global Alliance for Vaccine Development (GAVI). He would be very interested in funding projects that provide novel delivery mechanisms for vaccines. Frederica has always wanted to find a way to make a vaccine for S. pneumoniae that targets all of the serotypes! This may be her opportunity! Her goal is one vaccine that would be completely protective against all strains of S. pneumoniae. She has an idea...

2. A homolog of your favorite gene, YFG1, has been identified in S. cerevisiae. You were tasked with: i. generating a null allele of YFG1 in a diploid strain with the genotype: his3/his3, TRP1/trp1, ura3/URA3, YFG/YFG using a one-step gene replacement. [ So after the gene replacement genotype will be his3/his3, TRP1/trp1, ura3/URA3, yfg:marker/YFG] i. Sporulating the knockout strain generated in (i) iii. dissecting the resulting tetrads (asci) iv. testing the resulting spores on a variety of growth media 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...
