Question
Chapter 3, Problem 44P
Summary Introduction
a.
To determine:
The genotype of the mutant plant.
Introduction:
The mutant plant has abnormal flower morphology. The flower of the mutant plant does not have petals, anthers, or carpels and formed entirely of sepals.
Summary Introduction
b.
To determine:
The expected fraction of normal plants among the F2 in a cross of type
Introduction:
For the normal flower morphology, the plant needs only single dominant allele of any one of the three genes.
Summary Introduction
c.
To determine:
The model that describes the way Arabidopsis thaliana genome acquired redundant genes.
Introduction:
The genes that perform the same function are called redundant genes. This type of gene arises from gene duplication.

- Two morphotypes of the newly discovered plant in Mt. Banahaw de Lucban were tested for linkage of three genes such as the presence of tendril (t+), dense trichomes (d+), and the presence of secretory cells (sc+). The loci for the mutant genes have been mapped and are separated by the following map distances: t and d = 20CM; d and sc = 12CM. The interference between these genes is 0.4. The first morphotype is located at the lower elevation and is characterized by the absence of tendril, sparse trichome, and absence of secretory cells. On the other hand, the second morphotype is located at the higher elevation and is characterized by the presence of tendril, dense trichome, and presence of secretory cells. Further genetic analysis showed that the morphotypes were true breeding. The two morphotypes were intercrossed and the resulting F1 is testcrossed with the first morphotype. The cross resulted in 1800 progeny.

The morning of the experiment you inject in the leaves a messenger RNA that codes for the synthesis of a single protein made of two parts that are attached to each other: the functional S protein and a red fluorescent protein tag (RFP). You perform two cross sections of the same root, one section at the start of the experiment (time = Oh; corresponding to the time of injection) and one section in the afternoon (time = 8h). Through fluorescent microscopy you observe a change in the coloration inside the cells of the root's central tissues (as indicated by the arrows): from no coloration (time = Oh) to red (time = 8h). • The cells of the central tissues in the roots do not have nuclei or ribosomes. How can you explain this change of coloration? Please provide a cellular feature that can lead to this. • What is one advantage of using an RFP-tag in an mRNA?…arrow_forward
