概括
无尾 (tll) 基因对于虫胚胎发育至关重要. 它的子宫外表达可以创建新的身体结构,并破坏正常的细分模式.
科学领域:
- 发育生物学是发展生物学.
- 遗传学 是一个遗传学.
- 草虫的胚胎发生.
背景情况:
- 无尾 (tll) 基因对于在Drosophila胚胎中形成终端结构至关重要.
- 众所周知,母亲的基因体 (tor) 调节了胚胎期的表达.
研究的目的:
- 调查无尾 (tll) 基因在多虫胚胎发育中的作用.
- 了解干 (tor) 和无尾 (tll) 基因之间的调控关系.
- 探索子宫外无尾 (tll) 基因表达的后果.
主要方法:
- 利用体 () 基因的功能增益突变来观察子宫外的tll表达.
- 采用可诱导的促进剂来控制tll基因的宫外表达.
- 分析子宫外细胞表达对基因激活 (例如,腰) 和细分基因 (例如,克鲁佩尔,Knirps) 的影响.
主要成果:
- 在获得功能的tor突变体中观察到子宫外tll表达,支持tor在激活tll中的作用.
- 诱导性宫外细胞的表达导致了宫外细胞的形成,这是终端特异性结构.
- 宫外细胞的表达激活了巴基因,这对Filzkörper形成至关重要.

Position-effect Variegation
In 1928, a German botanist Emil Heitz observed the moss nuclei with a DNA binding dye. He observed that while some chromatin regions decondense and spread out in the interphase nucleus, others do not. He termed them euchromatin and heterochromatin, respectively. He proposed that the heterochromatin regions reflect a functionally inactive state of the genome. It was later confirmed that heterochromatin is transcriptionally repressed, and euchromatin is transcriptionally active chromatin.
The Ratio of X Chromosome to Autosomes
In most organisms, sex is determined by the ratio of X and Y chromosomes. However, in some organisms, such as Drosophila and C.elegans, sex is determined by the ratio of the number of X chromosomes to the number of sets of autosomes. The Y chromosome in Drosophila is active but does not determine sex. It contains genes responsible for the production of sperms in adult flies.
Normal male Drosophila has a ratio of one X chromosome to two sets of autosomes. In contrast, normal female Drosophila...
