Wild type, rapid-cycling accessions of Arabidopsis, such as the Columbia (COL) lab line will flower 32 days after germination under long day conditions (with a critical photoperiod of 15 hours). What is the predicted flowering-time response (EARLY, LATE, SAME) of each experimental plant's genotype (Listed below) relative to the wild-type, rapid-cycling COL line - when both are grown from seed under the following environmental conditions. The possible flowering time responses are: EARLY, LATE, SAME., relative to the wild-type COL line grown in the conditions listed below.
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.
Introduction :
The stamen(pollen) and pistil(ovule), which produce male and female gametes, are found in flowers, making them the plant's sexual reproductive organ. Flowers can be unisexual (having only stamen or pistil) or bisexual (contain both stamen and pistil). Male and female gametes combine to produce zygotes after fertilisation, and the ovary grows into a fruit.
