Male Wnt-1 TG mice (a mixture of FVB, SJL, and C57BL/6) were crossed with Pten heterozygous females (a mixture of C57BL/6 and 129SvJ) to generate all three genotypes used in this paper: Wnt-1 TG, Pten +/-; Wnt-1 TG, Pten +/+; and Pten +/-.
Active rates of taurocholate uptake were twice as high in the heterozygous cftr (+/-) mice (n = 23) compared to wild-type mice (n = 6) (average of all data points in the terminal ileum 109 ± 8 vs. 64 ± 13 cm pmol/mm 2; p < 0.05) and fourfold higher in the homozygous cftr (-/-) mice (n = 6) (212 ± 32 pmol/mm 2; p < 0.05 vs. wild-type).
In the absence of crossover recombination (chiasmata) and a backup distributive (achiasmatic) system for chromosome segregation, MI nondisjunction should occur and 100% of any resulting diploid spore colonies would be heterozygous for centromere linked markers (Figure 5B).
To give meaning to the notions of resistant and susceptible alleles, we assume d > 1 (RR homozygotes do better than SS homozygotes) and a ≤ b ≤ c (given that one is heterozygous, more R alleles are better).
The transgene was maintained in the heterozygous state by crossing the rdta mice to C57BL/6J mice.
