A variety of opium poppy (Papaver somniferum L.) having lacerated leaves was crossed with a variety that has normal leaves. All

the F1 had lacerated leaves. Two F1 plants were interbred to produce the F2. Of the F2, 249 had lacerated leaves and 16 had normal leaves. Give genotypes for all the plants in the F1, and F2 generations. Explain how lacerate leaves are determined in the opium poppy. (Section 5.2)

Answer:

The correct answer is-

F1 -  AaBb (lacerate)

F2 - A_B_; A_bb; and aaB_ (lacerate)

     - aabb (normal)

2. Two genes, with a dominant allele at either or both loci.

Explanation:

The given information gives THE following data:

Dominant: Lancerate leaves - AABB

Recessive: normal leaves - aabb

F1 has - all Lacerated leaves - AaBb

F2 by selfing F1:

         AB               Ab         aB         ab

AB    AABB        AABb      AaBB    AaBb

Ab     AABb       AAbb      AaBb     Aabb

aB     AaBB       AaBb       aaBB     aaBb

ab     AaBb       Aabb       aaBb      aabb

Here, 15/16 = lacerate which is 0.94 which is equal to the value of lacerate given in the question - 249/265 = 0.94

And normal 1/16 = 0.062 is almost same as 16/265 = 0.060

Thus, the genotypes of -

F1 -  AaBb (lacerate)

F2 - A_B_; A_bb; and aaB_ (lacerate)

     - aabb (normal)

Is it possible to have a knockout mutant plant that shows no visible phenotype that is different from the wild-type plant?
joja [24]

Answer:

Molecular genetic approaches to the study of plant metabolism can be traced back to the isolation of the first cDNA encoding a plant enzyme (Bedbrook et al., 1980), the use of the Agrobacterium Ti plasmid to introduce foreign DNA into plant cells (Hernalsteens et al., 1980) and the establishment of routine plant transformation systems (Bevan, 1984; Horsch et al., 1985). It became possible to express foreign genes in plants and potentially to overexpress plant genes using cDNAs linked to strong promoters, with the aim of modifying metabolism. However, the discovery of the antisense phenomenon of plant gene silencing (van der Krol et al., 1988; Smith et al., 1988), and subsequently co‐suppression (Napoli et al., 1990; van der Krol et al., 1990), provided the most powerful and widely‐used methods for investigating the roles of specific enzymes in metabolism and plant growth. The antisense or co‐supression of gene expression, collectively known as post‐transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS), has been particularly versatile and powerful in studies of plant metabolism. With such molecular tools in place, plant metabolism became accessible to investigation and manipulation through genetic modification and dramatic progress was made in subsequent years (Stitt and Sonnewald, 1995; Herbers and Sonnewald, 1996), particularly in studies of solanaceous species (Frommer and Sonnewald, 1995).

Which phrase describes a gene in its simplest form?
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Option-D, a segment of DNA

Explanation:

A gene represents the particular segment of DNA which contains the instruction for the trait of an organism. The nucleotide sequence present in the segment provides the instruction in the form of codons.

The gene is present in the form of its alternative form called alleles which are located on the chromosomes at locus. The alleles represent the variants of the gene and therefore controls the two variety of a single trait.

Thus, Option-D is correct.
