*Typically, an image will be a bit more red or green as time goes on. At the start however the ratio will be closer to 1:1 so the merged image will display yellow. The yellow color comes from the images merging their own color on the computer. Figure 4.13 clearly shows that some genes change their expression levels when they realize they are starving, so as oxygen is reduced the ratio will either change to green or red. However until those signals are sent, the merged image has a close ratio of 1:1.

Question 2

Gene X

  • Hour 1: 1.0 ratio, black.
  • Hour 3: 2.2 ratio, very dim red.
  • Hour 5: 1.0 ratio, black.
  • Hour 9: 0.15 ratio, medium green.

Gene Y

  • Hour 1: 1.0 ratio, black.
  • Hour 3: 4.5 ratio, dim red.
  • Hour 5: 0.95 ratio, still black.
  • Hour 9: 0.05 ratio, very bright green.

Gene Z

  • Hour 1: 1.0 ratio, black.
  • Hour 3: 1.5 ratio, very dim red.
  • Hour 5: 2.0 ratio, very dim red.
  • Hour 9: 2.0 ratio, very dim red.

Question 3

  • Yes, genes X and Y were transcribed similarly. They both have a spike in transcriptions and then quickly fall nearing 0 by the end of hour 9.

Question 4

  • Typically, an image will be a bit more red or green as time goes on. At the start however the ratio will be closer to 1:1 so the merged image will display yellow. The yellow color comes from the images merging their own color on the computer. Figure 4.13 clearly shows that some genes change their expression levels when they realize they are starving, so as oxygen is reduced the ratio will either change to green or red.
