First Experiment



1

The scientific basis for studying mutant worms exhibiting an egg-laying defective phenotype was that
A)All worms with this phenotype would have a heterochronic mutation.
B)Some worms with this phenotype may have a heterochronic mutation.
C)It affected muscle cells.
D)It produced a bizarre "bag of worms" phenotype.
2

In this experiment, the purpose of microscopy was to
A)Examine the nuclei for genetic changes
B)Determine if the worms were viable
C)Follow particular cell lineages
D)Determine if additional mutations occurred
3

If the lin-14 gene product persists for too long, this causes the worm to have
A)More cells
B)Fewer cells
C)The same number of cells but with different cell fates
D)None of the above
4

In the n536 mutant strain, the lin-14 gene is expressed during
A)L1 only
B)L2 only
C)L1 and L2
D)L1, L2, and L3
5

In the n355 mutant strain, the lin14 gene is expressed during
A)L1 only
B)L1 and L2
C)L1, L2, and L3
D)L1, L2, L3, and L4
