You are studying a variety of pea plant that has either red flowers or white flowers. When you cross true-breeding red-flowering

plants with true-breeding white-flowering plants, you get all red-flowering plants in the F1 generation. If you then allow the F1 plants to self-fertilize, you observe that 75% of the F2 plants are red-flowering plants, while 25% of the F2 plants are white-flowering plants. Next you make 640 different monohybrid crosses and decide to analyze only the first 8 plants produced from each of these crosses (i.e. a total of 5120 progeny plants total). How many of these crosses would be expected to produce 6 red plants and 2 white plants?

Answer:

approximately 200

Explanation:

From the question, we have

probability of red = 0.75

Probability of white = 0.25

We are required to find the probability of 6 red + 2 white plants offspring and after we do we multiply it by 640

We will solve this using the binomial theorem method

(a+b)⁸ = a⁸+8a⁷b+28a⁶b²+56a⁵b³+70a⁴b⁴+56a³b⁵+28a²b⁶+8a¹b⁷+b⁸

The required probability is 28a⁶b²

a = 0.75

b = 0.25

= 28 x 0.75⁶ x 0.25² x 640

= 28 x 0.178 x 0.0625 x 640

= 199.36

Which is approximately 200 crosses would be needed

VikaD [51]

Answer:

You can use the quantitative Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction PCR (RT-qPCR) method in order to analyze the Oct4 mRNA level.  

Explanation:  

RT-PCR is the gold standard technique to analyze the expression levels of one particular messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule. In this technique, the total RNA is firstly extracted and transcribed into complementary DNA (cDNA). Subsequently, the gene sequence of interest is then amplified in a standard PCR technique that uses as control one or more genes in order to measure the relative expression levels of the target mRNA, in this case, for example, the Oct4 mRNA.
