The polarity of a plant is developed by the presence of apical-base cellular development of the plants. It may be defined as the arrangement of cells as well as tissues along the main axis of plant.

In a species of tree, seed color is determined by four independently
assorting genes: A, B, C, and D. The recessive alleles of each of these genes (a, b,
C, and d) produce abnormal enzymes that cannot catalyze a reaction in the
biosynthetic pathway for seed pigment.
This pathway is diagrammed as follows:
A
White precursor
Yellow ----Orange----- Red
---
Blue
When both red and blue pigments are present, the seeds are purple. Trees with
the genotypes Aa Bb Cc Dd and Aa Bb Cc dd were crossed.
(a) What color are the seeds in these two parental genotypes?
(b) What proportion of the offspring from the cross will have white seeds?
(c) Determine the relative proportions of red, white, and blue offspring from the
cross.
You are a developmental geneticist studying flowering time variation in Arabidopsis. You perform a
mutagenesis screen to identify mutants in the photoperiod pathway. Given what you know about
photoperiodism in Arabidopsis, what phenotype are you looking for and under what photoperiodic
conditions would you perform the experiment?
delayed flowering in long days
delayed flowering in short days
same flowering in short days
early flowering in short days
same flowering in long days
early flowering in long days
A mutation that breaks which of the following genes would be most likely to produce theanthocyanless phenotype of the green-stem Wisconsin Fast Plants (meaning no purple stems):PAL, CHS, C3H, FLS, or DFR? Explain your reasoning.

- In Brinjal eggplants, purple fruit is incompletely dominant to white fruit, with the heterozygote being light violet. What is/are the genotype(s) of: the megaspore mother cell of a plant with purple flowers? the polar nucleus of a plant with light violet flowers? the megasporocyte of a plant with white flowers? the companion cell of a plant with light violet flowers?arrow_forwardIn considering the formation of the A–P and D–V axes inDrosophila, we noted that, for mutations such as bcd,homozygous mutant mothers uniformly produce mutant offspring with segmentation defects. This outcomeis always true regardless of whether the offspring themselves are bcd+/bcd or bcd/bcd. Some other maternaleffect lethal mutations are different, in that the mutantphenotype can be “rescued” by introducing a wild-typeallele of the gene from the father. In other words, forsuch rescuable maternal-effect lethals, mut+/mut animals are normal, whereas mut/mut animals have the mutant defect. Explain the difference between rescuableand nonrescuable maternal-effect lethal mutations.arrow_forwardAssume that diploid plant A has a cytoplasm genetically different from that of plant B.

One gene determines if pigment is produced or not (P = pigment, p = no pigment) and another gene controls the colour of the pigment (O = orange, o=yellow). Which of the following genotypes will produce Orange flowers? a) Pp Oo & PP OO b) pp Oo & pp 00 O c) pp oo & Pp oo & PP ooarrow_forwardAt the molecular level (with regard to loss-of-function alleles), explain why the ttvv homozygote has an ovate seed capsule.arrow_forward
- In a wild-type fungus, protein E (encoded by the haplosufficient gene E) normally dimerizes to catalyzes a biochemical reaction necessary for the production of a dark pigment. Ed represents a mutant, dominant negative allele of gene E. What is the predicted phenotype of a fungus cell of genotype E*/Ed, and why? O wild type (normal production of the dark pigment), as E is haplosufficient mutant (no pigment production), as no dimers will form in the heterozygous mutant (no pigment production), as the mutant allele Eg is dominant O wild type (normal production of the dark pigment), as dimers of wild-type and mutant protein E will be formed in the heterozygousarrow_forwardA pollen of maize with nuclei labeled P, Q and R fertilized an embryo sac with nuclei labeled S, T, U, V, W, X, Y and Z as shown here.

Which of the above combinations could be found in the germinating pollen tube?arrow_forwardTwo 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. Give the genotypes, phenotypes, and the expected numbers of phenotypes in…arrow_forward

Please DESCRIBE each of the four chromosomes by indication the chromosome pair to which it belongs, is it the "normal" version of the chromosome or the version that has undergone a chromosomal rearrangement, and specify the type or rearrangement present. (For example, indicate that a chromosome is the normal version of Chromosome #1, or the version of Chromosome #1 containing a ( ) (where you would mention the type of rearrangement present).arrow_forwardIn 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.arrow_forwardName the dark, linear, thread like structures that are in some of the onion root tip cells.
