As with all multicellular organisms, homeotic genes in plants control morphogenesis (how the tissues and organs of the plant are

arranged). in maize plants, the homeotic gene knotted1 (abbreviated kn1) maintain the indeterminate state of shoot apical meristems. in wild-type maize plants, kn1 is expressed at high levels in the shoot apical meristem, but is expressed at low levels in leaves. in some mutant maize plants, kn1 is expressed at high levels in leaves. in those plants, outgrowths or knots of adventitious shoot meristems (shoot meristems that appear in abnormal locations on the leaves) form. use this information to determine which of the following statements are true. select the four statements that are true.
a. expression of the kn1 gene in shoot apical meristem cells produces a protein involved in the maintenance of shoot apical meristems.
b. in wild-type maize plants, the kn1 gene is mostly expressed in shoot apical meristem cells.
c. in mutant maize leaves, the kn1 gene is mostly not expressed.
d. leaves of the mutant maize plants produce more kn1 protein than leaves of wild-type maize plants.
e. both the wild-type and mutant maize leaves have the same morphology.
f. in wild-type maize plants, the kn1 gene is present in shoot apical meristem cells, but not in leaf cells.
g. in wild-type maize plants, the kn1 gene is expressed diferentially in shoot apical meristem cels and leaf cells.

Answer:

a. True

b. True

c. False

d. True

e. False

f. False

g. True

Explanation:

The homeotic genes refer to evolutionarily conserved genes that modulate the development of different structures in organisms of the same groups (in this case, plants).  Moreover, homeobox genes are genes that encode transcription factors involved in the regulation of development in eukaryotic organisms. The knotted1 (<em>kn1</em>) gene is a plant homeobox gene is a member of the <em>kn1</em> homeobox (<em>knox</em>) gene family, which is responsible for maintaining indeterminacy and preventing cellular differentiation. In maize, <em>kn1</em> plays a key role in maintaining the cells of the shoot apical meristem in an undifferentiated state, being mainly expressed in shoot meristems during postembryonic stages of shoot development. It has been observed that maize mutant plants where <em>kn1</em> is ectopically expressed (i.e., in tissues in which this gene is not normally expressed) exhibit proximal-distal patterning defects.

Assume that the mother's genotype is AZ/az, and the father's genotype is Az/aZ, and the recombination rate is 10%. What are the
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

0.45 from mom and 0.05 from dad.

Explanation:

The recombinant progeny might occur due to the crossing over at the time of meiosis in which the exchange of chromosomes occur in the homologous chromosomes of non sister chromatids.

The progeny receives half of their chromosome from the mother and half from the father. The mother 50% AZ and 50% az chromosomes respectively. The 10% recombination has occured due to which the mother chromosomes is reduce upto 45%. The recombinant  10% will be aZ and Az and has 5% frequency. Mom has the ability of az chromosomes is 0.45 %. The father has the genotype 50% Az and 50% aZ. The 10% recombination has occured due to which the father chromosomes is reduce upto 45%. The recombinant will be az and AZ with 5% frequency. So, father has az with 0.05 % probability.

Thus, the answer is 0.45 from mom and 0.05 from dad.

How might cancer stem cells can lead to reoccurrence of tumors
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Cancer disease occurs when the abnormalities occurs during cell division of stem cells. Stem cells are those cells which are produced in the body and used by the body when the cells are older or get damaged. When the division of these stem cells are uncontrollable, cancer occurs which spread to the surrounding cells. When a large group of cancer cells grow in size, it turns into tumor.
