According to the endosymbiosis theory, mitochondria and chloroplasts are derived from bacteria that took up residence withineukaryotic cells. At one time, prior to being taken up by eukaryoticcells, these bacteria were free-living organisms. However, we cannot take a mitochondrion or chloroplast out of a living eukaryoticcell and get it to survive and replicate on its own. Discuss why not.
Briefly describe the organization of genes on the chloroplast genome.
In a particular plant species, 2n=12. For this organism, how many chromosomes, and how many DNA molecules will be present per cell for each of the following? a) leaf in cell G1 b) leaf cell in G2 c)root meristem cell in metaphase of mitosis d) root meristem cell in anaphase of mitosis e) root meristem cell in telophase of mitosis (cytokinesis complete) f) microspore mother cell (in anther) in prophase 1 of meiosis g) microspore mother cell in metaphase II of meiosis h) pollen grain ( after meiosis is and cytokinesis complete)
Antibiotics such as chloramphenicol, tetracycline, and erythromycin inhibit protein synthesis in bacteria, but have no effect on the synthesis of proteins encoded by eukaryotic nuclear genes. Cycloheximide inhibits the synthesis of proteins encoded by nuclear genes, but has no effect on bacterial protein synthesis. How might these compounds be used to determine which proteins are encoded by mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes?
You are studying a plant with tissue comprising both green and white sectors. You wish to decide whether this phenomenon is due (1) to a chloroplast mutation of the type considered in this chapter or (2) to a dominant nuclear mutation that inhibits chlorophyll production and is present only in certain tissue layers of the plant as a mosaic. Outline the experimental approach that you would use to resolve this problem.
