7. You have identified a new species of nematode thatyou are interested in studying and understanding its earlydevelopment. In particular, you want to know if the samefactors responsible for establishing early differences betweencells are the same between this nematode and C. elegans. Youdecide to take the approach of a genetic screen. Note: you findthat these worms ARE NOT hermaphrodites and instead, males andfemales mate to produce offspring. Assume all genes you arestudying exhibit normal Mendelian ratios ofinheritance.
- [2pts] Given what is known about earlydevelopment in C. elegans (and most other organisms wediscussed in class) what type of screen would you need todo
(Maternal Effect screen or Zygoticeffect screen)
