Researchers created a genetic strain of mice that were lacking both genes for MyRF,a transcription factor that is required for oligodendrocytes to function normally.What is the most likely effect that this would have on the mice?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MyRF is required for oligodendrocytes to function normally, and oligodendrocytes produce myelin which is necessary for the saltatory conduction of neurons. Therefore, the lack of MyRF genes would likely result in a loss of salutatory conduction in the mice.
