Document Summary
What is the signal that triggers the process of rnai inside our worms? (1 point) As an example, if two proteins are 100 amino acids long, and have identical amino acids at 25 of those positions, it would be a highly significant match. If two dna sequences are identical at 25% of their positions, this is what you would get for completely unrelated sequences: for the bli-1 mutant, draw and describe the morphology and behavior characteristic of the rnai phenotype. How did the mutant phenotype compare? (3 points: worms were encased in large, fluid-filled blisters. The blisters were large and seemed to affect all of the adult worms. The worms could not move well at all. Some of the adults were dead: rnai was very powerful, making nearly 100% of the worms blistered. What is the molecular basis for this phenotype? (2 points) point: klc-2 seemed to cause either sterility or embryonic lethality.
