- Some sweet-pea plants have purple flowers and others have white flowers. A homozygous variety of sweet pea that has purple flowers is crossed with a homozygous variety that has white flowers. All the F1 have purple flowers. When these F1 self-fertilize, the F2 appear in a ratio of 916 purple to 716 white. a. Give genotypes for the purple and white flowers in these crosses. b. Draw a hypothetical biochemical pathway to explain the production of purple and white flowers in sweet peasarrow_forwardIn a tissue engineering experiment, stem cells are grown in a circular dish (diameter = 3 cm) with a thin layer of cell culture media covering the cells. It is expected that these cells will differentiate when exposed a new differentiation factor (small molecule) at a surface concentration of 50 ng/cm? During the experiment, 1 ug of the factor is placed at the center of the dish. Assume the diffusivity of the factor in cell culture media is 1 x 10^-5 cm^2/s. A. How long does it take before the cells 1 cm from the center of the dish begin to differentiate? B. Do you expect the cells at the edge of the dish differentiate? Justify your answer with calculations.arrow_forwardSuppose that you are studying the role of Protein B, which you believe plays a role in regulating PCD/Apoptosis in mice. You create two lines of mutant mice. One (bb) is homozygous for a loss-of-function allele of gene B. The other (Bb) is heterozygous, with one wild-type allele and one loss-of function allele. Initially you pay particular attention to two phenotypes of the resulting mice:(i) The morphology of their paws (see picture)(ii) The size of their brains & shape of their skulls. The bb mice have unusually large brains and unusual protrusions from their skulls. Suggest one other aspect of mouse morphology or physiology that you might expect to be altered in the absence of Protein B. Briefly explain your reasoning. Also, based on the apparent effect of Protein B on the likelihood of PCD/Apoptosis, would you classify Protein B as the product of a proto-oncogene or of a tumor suppressor gene?arrow_forward
