The analysis of the fact that application of given experimental model on various other life forms like plants, insects or mammal population, will show the similar results as shown by bacterial population in a changing environment. Given: An experiment was conducted to test and evaluate the bacterial resistance towards antibiotics in different conditions. The result shows the survival of different bacterial population, under varying antibiotic concentrations that increased gradually, moderately, and suddenly. Introduction: Model organisms taken for the experimental studies should be easily propagated, maintained, bear minimal growth requirement, and also consist some additional specific features such as transparent egg in case of sea urchin, short generation time of Escherichia coli, large progeny size of fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster etc. Most of these organism’s genomes are completely sequenced and they can be compared with the other organisms because of their common ancestry.

Question #3: In the KeyGene paper, the authors state that it would be useful if pollen from an apomict would transmit apomixis-inducing genes to the female in the cross (assuming the pollen is viable). Assuming there was just one gene conferring gametophytic obligate apomixis, and that the two parents are inbreds, what would be the consequences of such a cross if: a) The apomixis was a dominant trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the parental cross. b) The apomixis was a recessive trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the…

Question #5: Assume that two genes are identified that confer gametophytic facultative apomixis in soybean. The genes show independent assortment. Recessive alleles at both loci are required for the facultative apomixis. Facultative apomixis is triggered when the temperature at pollination is above 20 degrees C. At temperatures below 20 degrees C, all reproduction is sexual, independent of genotype. A facultative apomict male, capable of producing viable pollen, was crossed with a sexually reproducing female. Assuming the parents are completely inbred, what are the predicted phenotypic ratios (apomict: non-apomict) for the F1, F2, and DH (F1-derived) generations at each of the following temperatures*: a) 15°C? b) 25°C? *for full credit, show crosses and genotypes where appropriate. Remember to position the female first (left side) in the cross. Type your answer here:
