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?
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)
The drooping, bell-like flower Aquilegia canadensis is adapted for cross-pollination. However, if the plant has not been pollinated previously, self-pollination can occur. However, if cross pollination occurs after self-pollination takes place, the pollen from cross pollination reaches the style before the pollen from self-pollination. Using course concepts and vocabulary 1) Provide a reasoning for this phenomenon. 2) Would this adaptation for reproduction be beneficial for the plant?
In the absence of centrioles among the cells of higher plants, give one pole-based mechanism exhibited by such cells and briefly explain how it helps chromosomes be pulled in opposite poles.

- 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.arrow_forwardPick an organelle or cellular structure that is unique to plants.
