10) You are working hard to introduce a beetle biological control agent for citrus psyllids, the beetle larvae love to eat psyllids – like a lot of psyllids. But, you recently notice that your colony is not doing well. Some portion of female beetles in your colony are just not laying eggs. You find that these females are eating just fine. You take the beetles to your departmental physiologist and they suggest that there may be a new mutation that has arisen in your colony that is affecting proper yolk provisioning of the eggs. The physiologist does some work and finds that oocytes in the mutant females are developing properly to the previtellogenic phase, but there is no apparent yolk uptake into these oocytes. The females are producing vitellogenin in their fat bodies and secreting it out into the blood – like a lot of vitellogenin in the blood. But, why is it not getting into the oocytes? Describe in detail the steps that must occur for vitellogenin produced in the fat body to be provisioned into the oocyte including all major steps. (8 pts)
