Which mating of four-o'clock plants would produce progeny that were either green, variegated, or white

Answer:

variegated female x green male

Explanation:

The four o'clock (<em>Mirabilis jalapa</em>) plant is a common ornamental species of <em>Mirabilis</em> (clade Angiosperms, flowering plants) whose leaf pigmentation is a well-known case of maternal inheritance. Moreover, chloroplasts are organelles that have their own genome which follows a maternal inheritance pattern in the majority of plant and animal species because they are contained in the cytoplasm (i.e., chloroplast DNA is inherited only from the mother because only the maternal cytoplasm persists after fertilization). Thus, chloroplast DNA has an inheritance pattern that challenges Mendel's Laws of inheritance (i.e., distinct from nuclear DNA). In the case of the four o'clock plant, the genes responsible for leaf color are located in the chloroplast genome and therefore these genes are transmitted from the female parent to the progeny. In this case, the leaf variegation is caused by two different types of chloroplasts that are inherited from the mother: normal green chloroplasts and defective chloroplasts (without chlorophyll pigment).

URGENTEE!!! POR FAVOR!!! Quais sao as principais funções citoplasmáticas? Qiferencie conceitualmente as duas principais estrutur
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

A função do citoplasma é fornecer sustentação esquelética para a célula através da estrutura composta por filamentos e túbulos proteicos. Além disso, todo o conjunto de estruturas mergulhadas no citosol apresenta bastante dinamismo, fato que possibilita à célula realizar alguns movimentos.

No citoplasma, ainda há membranas que atuam como verdadeiras usinas intracelulares, que fornecem energia indispensável à manutenção da vida.

Outro fato que você deveria saber sobre o citoplasma é que ele preenche todo o interior das células eucariontes, sendo delimitado pela membrana plasmática. Já nas células procariontes, o citoplasma fica entre a membrana plasmática e o núcleo da célula.
