A student pоses the questiоn: Hоw does the presence of dissolved sаlt аffect the freezing point of wаter? To answer this question, the student set up two conditions. In the first condition, the student added salt to water in a container and referred to this condition as the variable. In the second condition, the student did not add any salt to water in a second container and referred to this condition as the control. The student took both containers and attempted to freeze the water at various temperatures to assess the freezing point. Would this be a valid experiment?

Scenаriо: As а mоleculаr biоlogist, you are investigating the genetic basis of olfactory behavior in Drosophila melanogaster. You are particularly interested in a gene referred to as Olf1, which has been previously linked to attraction to strawberry scent. In this scenario, Olf1 is defined as a dominant gene: Dominant allele (Olf1): Results in strong attraction to strawberry scent (Phenotype A). Recessive allele (olf1): Results in weak attraction to strawberry scent (Phenotype B). Expression: Olf1 is expressed in the olfactory sensory neurons in the fly brain. Questions:In a controlled experiment, you will use the Gal4-UAS system to knockdown Olf1 in the olfactory sensory neurons of Drosophila. 1. Explain how the Gal4-UAS system can be used to knockdown Olf1 specifically in the olfactory sensory neurons of Drosophila melanogaster (5 points). Describe the components of the Gal4-UAS system and how you would implement it to drive expression of a reporter gene. 2. Design a Mendelian inheritance study focusing on the olfactory behavior affected by the manipulated gene (10 points). The two parental strains to be crossed are: one strain with a homozygous dominant genotype (Olf1/Olf1) showing strong attraction to strawberry scent, and another strain that is homozygous recessive (olf1/olf1) with weak attraction. Describe the expected F1 and F2 generations' phenotypes and genotypes in relation to olfactory attraction to banana scent. 3. A colleague brings you another Drosophila mutant (known as Mutant B) that also exhibited reduced attraction to strawberry scent. Describe how you would design a complementation test between your initial mutant (olf1/olf1) and Mutant B to determine if they are allelic (mutations of the same genes) or non-allelic (mutations on different genes). Include the expected outcomes of the test and what they would indicate about the relationship between the two mutants (5 points).
