Trace the genetic steps in the development of a peanut plant that isresistant to insect larvae (table given). (Hint: You need to useAgrobacterium.)
Choose which of the following is true:
a) Haploid cells have one allele per gene
b) Haploid cells have two alleles per gene
For a haploid fungus, the starting point in the biosynthesis of the amino acid
arginine is Compound X, which is always present in and absorbed from the
environment. The arginine biosynthetic pathway is:
Enzyme A
Enzyme B
Enzyme Ç
Compound X
It is know that genes encoding enzymes A and C are on two different
chromosomes.
Compound Y
Compound Z-
Arginine
A mutant strain of genotype a (lacking only enzyme A) is crossed to a mutant strain
of genotype c (lacking only enzyme C) to generate a diploid strain. Sporulation (i.e.
meiosis) is subsequently induced in the resulting diploid strain. What proportion of
the spores (haploids formed by sporulation) is expected to grow on medium without
arginine but supplemented with Compound Y?

- The figure below shows the life cycle of the fungus Neurospora. The adult stage of the Neurospora is a multicellular haploid. b) Neurospora has an arginine amino acid synthesis pathway shown below. Suppose I take the strain above that only grows with arginine supplements and cross it to a different mutant Neurospora strain that grows with arginine and citrulline supplements but not with ornithine supplements. Assuming gens A, B, and C are unlinked and there is only one mutation per stain: What percentage of the progeny will grow on ornithine? What percentage on citrulline?

- The numbers of chromosomes in the somatic cells of several oat varieties are sand oats: 14; slender wild oats: 28; and cultivated oats: 42. a) What is the basic chromosome number (x) in the oats? b) What is the ploidy for the slender wild oats? c) What is then number of chromosomes in the cultivated oats?arrow_forwardThree haploid fungal mutants that require compound W for growth were isolated. Each mutant contains a recessive allele in a single gene. Three compounds (A, B and C) in the biosynthetic pathway to W are known, but their order in the pathway is unknown. Each compound is tested for its ability to support the growth of each of the three mutants. Phenotypes of all of the three mutants are shown in the following table (“+" indicates growth, "-" indicates no growth). A C W Mutant 1 Mutant 2 Mutant 3 What would be the phenotype of a haploid mutant that contains both mutant alleles in mutant 2 and 3? Phenotype refers to growth or absence of growth on compounds A, B, C and WN.
