Dr. Wassarman conducted experiments to examine DNA content in his fly model of Ataxia Telangiectasia. Consider his Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) data below. First, just compare Panels A and B. In this comparison, Panel B indicates that when Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) is not present at wild-type (control) levels [replicate]. Next consider all the panels, and then compare Panels B and D. The best conclusion that can be drawn from this comparison is that when ATM is not present at wild-type levels [apoptosis].
