1. 'Betamix B' is a herbicide produced by the drug company Bayer. The chemical is designed to kill broadleaf weeds, but not the plant that farmers want to grow and produce a bountiful harvest/yield → e.g. sugar beet and strawberry. Betamix B helps these two plants by binding to the PQ (plastoquinone) molecules of certain weeds and stopping them from passing electrons in a certain membrane. Describe how blocking this shuttle/carrier molecule from performing its job will eventually kill the weed, and refer to the two types of light dependent electron pathways PQ is involved in. Do not feel that you need to mention each electron shuttle molecule in the redox reactions. If you wish, sketch a diagram to help explain your answer.

Gene Interactions

When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.

Gene Expression

Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.
