Concept explainers
To describe: The kinds of events that contribute to pattern formation.
Introduction: Many processes are involved in shaping the microorganism and its structures so that it performs the correct functions and with greatest efficiency. An organism gains its form from an undifferentiated mass of cells to gain the function and characteristics that are specific to it. These processes are cell determination, cell differentiation, pattern formation, and morphogenesis.
To describe: The way in which pattern formation leads to morphogenesis.

- What is the correct order of segmentation of genes? Morphogen, Pair-Rule, Segment Polarity, Hox, Gaparrow_forward1) In the plant Salvia, two genes determine the inheritance of flower colour. For one gene, P is the allele for purple colour and p for pink. However, at least one dominant allele at the other locus is required for the colour to be expressed, Plants with the genotype aa have white flowers. Write down all possible genotypes for a) purple flowered b) pink flowered c) white flowers d) which gene, A/a or P/p is the epistatic gene and which is the hypostatic gene? e) What type of epistasis is this?arrow_forwardHow do genes participate in differentiation and pattern formation?arrow_forward
- What is incomplete dominance? A) When one Allele produces the phenotypic expression. B) When two Alleles produce the phenotypic expression. C) When all Alleles produce the phenotypic expression.arrow_forwardWhat is cross-fertilize?arrow_forwardIn fruit flies a dominant mutation on the X chromosome causes the eye to be oval instead of round (recessive). If a male with oval eyes has offspring with a female with round eyes, what percentage of the male offspring will have oval eyes? O O O a) 0 b) 25 c) 50 d) 75 e) 100arrow_forward
