Question

Genetics etween wt N2 worms and different dpy mutants. Investigate each of the following strains: . dpy-5 e61 dpy-8 e130 . dpy-13 e184 dpy-17 e164 . dpy-17 e1295 dpy-20 e1362 Note: your instructor may have you view different strains. Take a picture of each line. How would you describe the phenotypes, compared to wild type and each other? How would you rank the adult mutant phenotypes in terms of strength? We would define strength" as how strong the phenotype is - the weaker the phenotype, the more similar the mutant worms are to wild type; mutant worms with stronger phenotypes would be increasingly different than wild type. a. b. What o ther phenotypes do you notice? Do they have normal movement? Are they laying eggs normally? How do these mutations affect the L stage worms? c.

Explanation / Answer

There should be phenotypic difference between wild type and these mutations.

dpy-8 mutant strain should we short fat worms which have no cuticular annuli where as for dpy-5 and dpy-13 mutants are short and fat with annuli.

dpy 17 and 20 mutant have defects in he embryonic stage.
