To maintain a line of pure-breeding peas, selective breeders would use a technique called artificial cross-pollination. This is a technique were breeders transfer pollen from the anthers of one pea plant (male parent) to a stigma of a flower (female parent).

This technique was developed by Gregor Mendel, the founder of the science of genetics. He was a monk who dedicated his time in research about how genes of plants are carried over through specific species. In his controlled experiment he used the pea plant because they are cheap and readily available from merchants who sold them in different classifications. He also used pea plants because they have the capacity to self-pollinate or cross-pollinate.

If the integument of an angiosperm seed contains cells with 20 chromosomes, how many chromosomes would you expect to find in the
OleMash [197]

Answer:

30

Explanation:

The seed of an angiosperm is formed as a result of fertilization (fusion of sperm in pollens and the ova from ovary). According to the question, the cells of the seed which will grow into the plant contains 20 chromosomes. Seeds of angiosperms contain a tissue called ENDOSPERM that forms as a result of the unique DOUBLE FERTILIZATION in angiosperms. It occurs when one haploid sperm cell fuses with two haploid polar nuclei to form a triploid endospermic structure that serves as food for the growing embryo in the seed.

Now based on the above explanation, the diploid plant cell with 20 chromosomes will have 10 chromosomes (half as much) in its gametes as a result of meiosis. This 10 chromosomes in each gamete (sperm and ovum) fuses to form a diploid zygote with 20 chromosomes, while one haploid sperm cell (10 chromosomes) also fuses with two haploid polar nuclei (10 chromosomes each) to form a triploid endosperm with 30 chromosomes i.e. 10+10+10.

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

RNA

Explanation:

CRISPR system was discovered by a Japanese scientist. Naturally <u>bacteria and many other prokaryotes</u> have <u>CRISPR system in their genome</u> which they use as a<u> self defense against a pathogen</u> which is invading them. It consists of<u> inter spaced, short palindromic nucleotide repeats </u>which <u>encode a guide RNA (gRNA)</u>. This guide RNA (gRNA) recognizes the<u> target sequence</u> on the pathogen. The <u>gRNA is followed by Cas9 enzyme</u> which along with the gRNA plays a very important <u>role in breaking genome</u> of the pathogen. Once the target gene is cut down the rest of the DNA can be rejoined by<u> non homologous end joining. </u>

But nowadays, scientists are using this system for <u>genome editing</u> and <u>incorporating desired gene</u> between the two ends which are cut down by <u>CRISPR Cas9 system.</u>

According to the Punnett square, 4/16       plants will have red flowers and green seeds.

So, (4 ÷16) × 100 = 25% chance of obtaining offspring with red flower and green seed.

Explanation: It's 100% right.
