Dr. Wassarman conducted a GWAS in Drosophila to identify genetic variants that influence early mortality after traumatic brain injury. He included 179 inbred lines in his GWAS (i.e., the DGRP lines). In the figure below, which of the fly lines indicated by the three arrows contains a genome with either the greatest number of protective genetic variants and/or protective genetic variants with the biggest effect size?

A mouse model of Fragile X Syndrome exhibits the repetitive behavior of excessive marble burying. In class, we discussed how scientists alleviated this symptom in the mouse model using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. The figure below shows some of the data we discussed. First: Label the bars in the above bar graph by matching the letter that corresponds with each bar to the genotype to which that bar refers. Bar A refers to [Wildtypecontrolmice] Bar B referes to [WTCas9] Bar C refers to [FMR1knockoutmice] Bar D refers to [FRM1Cas9] Second: Select the best answer to the question below from the dropdown menu. How did the researchers deliver the CRISPR-Cas9 components to the mice? [2nd]
