Please answer the following questions for me: 1 Why is it important to determine whether or not genes that provides insecticide and fungi resistance may be transferred to wild sunflowers? 2. What factors would you measure (response, or dependent varibles)? 3. Fitness can be measured as a seed set (seed production) Why is it important to measure as seed production? 4. Cultivated sunflowers have one stem that produces one single large flower head, while wild flowers have many branches that produce many flowers. Why is it important to measure branching pattern (number of branches produced by F1 plants, backcrosses and wild type sunflowers? 5. Why is it important to include blackcrosses in the exeriment?
Genetic Variation
Genetic variation refers to the variation in the genome sequences between individual organisms of a species. Individual differences or population differences can both be referred to as genetic variations. It is primarily caused by mutation, but other factors such as genetic drift and sexual reproduction also play a major role.
Quantitative Genetics
Quantitative genetics is the part of genetics that deals with the continuous trait, where the expression of various genes influences the phenotypes. Thus genes are expressed together to produce a trait with continuous variability. This is unlike the classical traits or qualitative traits, where each trait is controlled by the expression of a single or very few genes to produce a discontinuous variation.
