Q1. Excluding the nucleus, name an organelle that contains its own genome?

Use this information to answer questions 2 and 3. A researcher creates two fusion proteins. One protein is fused to GFP (a green fluorescent protein) and the other to mCherry (a red fluorescent protein).

Q2 Look at the distribution of the two proteins throughout this animal cell. What aspect of their distribution do these two proteins have in common? They are both….

Q3 Based on their distribution, how are these two proteins different?

mCherry is specific

GFP is specific

Q4. A researcher is looking at how these fusion proteins affect the cell. What can the researcher measure to look at the effect of the mCherry fusion protein?
