Question:- 1. Brassica oleracea is the wild plant from which brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower were domesticated. Why is it important to keep many diverse seeds from the forb B. oleracea across its range? A. If our B. oleracea-derived crops are driven to extinction, we can re-domesticate them from the wild plant. B. Our crop Brassicas are much more genetically diverse than B. oleracea because of extensive breeding programs, so we need to conserve as much of B. oleracea's diversity as possible. C. The budding pattern in Brassica may be further modified to produce more productive crop plants. D. B. oleracea may have gene variants that can be incorporated into our domesticated plants to increase their environmental range or tolerance to pests. E. We may be able to domesticate another crop plant from B. oleracea.

A. Hank is going to talk about Gene Guns and Agrobacterium which I will discuss in a video lecture next week. B. How long does it take to develop and bring a GMO crop to market? C. What are some of the drawbacks to GE organisms? D.One of the interviewees is a woman in bright pink t-shirt and she is trying to describe drawbacks to GMOs. While not a cogent argument, I think there is an important point that she is trying to make. Do you know what she is trying to say?
true or false 1.Crossbreeding and genetic engineering are both ways to develop improved varieties of crops. 2.Reducing the use of GMOs could reduce the cost of organic products 3.Overnutrition is most common in developed countries, rather than in less-developed countries 4.Micronutrients include carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. 5.To reduce the drawbacks of no-till farming, it will be important to find ways to reduce associated herbicide use. 6.High-input agriculture is a form of industrialized agriculture used primarily in less-developed tropical countries that involves growing cash crops such as bananas, coffee, vegetables, soybeans, sugarcane, and palm oil.

52. Papaya plants are very susceptible to the papaya ringspot virus (PRSV), which stunts the growth of the fruit and negatively impacts the taste. By 1995, PRSV wiped out the Hawaiian papaya crop completely and made it impossible to produce papaya commercially. In 1998, Cornell University developed a genetically modified papaya called Rainbow that was resistant to PRSV and introduced it to Hawaii. Currently, 80% of the papaya cultivated in Hawaii is genetically modified to be resistant to PRSV.Which of the following rows identifies the effect of PRSV on the original papaya population and the reason why the population recovered? Select one: a. Effect on the Original Population Reason for Recovery Population bottleneck Some papaya had the PRSV-resistance gene. b. Effect on the Original Population Reason for Recovery Increased gene flow The PRSV-resistance gene had to be artificially introduced to the papaya genome c. Effect on the Original Population Reason…

QUESTION 1) The vocal properties of the shrieking eels of Florin are controlled by three genes. The dominant alleles, L (loudness), P (pitch) and T (timing) cause eels to emit loud, high-pitched shrieks in the morning. The recessive alleles (I, p, and t) cause eels to sing softly, at a low pitch, in the evening. In a three-point linkage analysis experiment, I carried out a test cross using a triply heterozygous eel and a triple recessive partner. When the eggs hatched, I found that the resulting 8000 offspring had the following phenotypes i) Loud, high pitch, morning 160 ii) Loud, high pitch, evening 690 iii) Loud, low pitch, evening 3000 iv) Loud, low pitch, morning 10 v) Quiet, high pitch, morning 3360 vi) Quiet, high pitch, evening 30 vii) Quiet, low pitch, evening 240 viii) Quiet, low pitch, morning 510 Calculate and draw the genetic map for the genes L, P and T including distances.

Question:- For a simple cross between a purple-flowered plant and a white-flowered plant, where purple is dominant over white. a. Show the F2 in a Punnett square. What are the proportions of genotypes and phenotypes? Express as fractions, decimal fractions and ratios. b. Now imagine that half of the pollen carrying the recessive allele die before reaching their target, while those carrying the dominant allele are unaffected; what are the proportions of genotypes and phenotypes now?What does this tell you about Mendel’s principle of segregation?
8) In just a few sentences, discuss why homoploid hybrids typically have a more difficult time forming barriers to reproduction with their parental species than an allopolyploid or autopolyploid. What is one example of a way that a homoploid hybrid plant can establish a barrier to reproduction with its parents?
