Question
A panel of cell lines was created from human-mouse somatic-cell. Each cell line was examined for the presence of human chromosomes and for the production of an enzyme. The following data were obtained. A '+' indicates the presence of the enzyme or chromosome in the cell line. A '-' indicates the absence of the enzyme or chromosome in the cell line. On the basis of these results, which chromosome has the gene that codes for the enzyme? chromosome 8 chromosome 1 chromosome 17 chromosome 4 chromosome 2Explanation / Answer
answer is chromosome - 1, 8, 17.
Enzyme is produced in only B and E cells as seen in picture.now compare that what all chromosomes are present in B as well as e cell line. As one can easily see that chromosomes 1, 8, and 17 are present in both cell lines producing enzyme.
