an unstable phenotype
maiz
C g with Ds inserted is a
mutant
if Ds jumps away from C g what will happen?
revert to normal gene
the colorless, shrunken, not shiny part of the corn kernel was produced when?
a chrom frag cont C,SH, Wx is lost thr break at Ds locus. then these recessive alleles on homol chrom are expressed
maiz
new unstable alleles are prod when?
Ds inserts in the C g. Ac can excise Ds from C g which allows the color to be express again

a strain with c-m(DS) and Ac has what color kernels?
spotted. bec Ac activ Ds, in some c to leave
Ac activ Ds in some c to leave or to ?
excise, transpose
T or F
c-m (Ac)is always unstable
T
T or F
c-m (Ds) is always unstable
F
only when Ac is also present
Ds is probably a _______________ of Ac
incomplete, mutated version

1. auton elem
2. nonauton elem that it can mobilize
what 3 things can a transpo do?
1. inactiv a g
2. cause chromosom break
3. transp to new locat
inser seq element are in?
bact

gal operon
lambdadgal phage has?
picked up the gal region from the bact
phage lambda particles with gal mutation have __________ density than lambda with out gal mutat
higher
why do lambda particl with gal mutat have higher density?
bec they have the gal g plus the IS, giving it more mass for the same volume
bact
all IS have a prot called?
transposase
transposase is?
an enzyme req for mov of IS elements

2. simple transpos
bact
composite trans is?
collect of g inbetw 2 IS
bact composit transp has 2 IS oriented?
opposit direct
Inverted repeats are in _________ transposons
