Textbook Question
Chapter 10.1, Problem 3CC
WHAT IF? A horticulturalist breeds orchids, trying to obtain a plant with a unique combination of desirable traits. After many years, she finally succeeds. To produce more plants like this one, should she crossbreed it with another plant or clone it? Why?

- I need explanation for the why the answer is correct? And why would the other options wrongarrow_forwardHomologous Chromosomes We have discussed homologous chromosomes before. This idea is essential to the understanding of genetics, so we will review it again. Information • Very simple organisms have only one set of chromosomes and they are haploid. ► More complex organisms have two sets of chromosomes and are diploid. • Haploid organisms have one of each kind of chromosome and one of every kind of gene. Diploid organisms have two of each kind of chromosome and two of kind of gene. every The two chromosomes of each kind in a diploid organism are called homologous chromosomes because they are carrying the same kind of traits (genes). Homo means "same." ► A human has 23 different kinds of chromosomes that are given numbers from 1 to 23. Because we are diploid organisms we have two of each of the different kinds. So, we have 46 chromosomes in all, made up of 23 homologous pairs. ? QUESTION 1. How many sets of DNA molecules or chromosomes does a diploid organism have? 2. How many sets of DNA…arrow_forwardImagine you are trying to test whether a population of flowers is undergoing evolution. You suspect there is selection pressure on the color of the flower: bees seem to cluster around the red flowers more often than the blue flowers. In a separate experiment, you discover blue flower color is dominant to red flower color. In a field, you count 600 blue flowers and 200 red flowers. What would you expect the genetic structure of the flowers to be?arrow_forward
- I need help with b, c, d the choices for c) are haploid, diploid or tetraploid the choices for d) are same chromosome, a pair of homologus chromosomes, or two different chromosomesarrow_forwardA researcher studied six independently assorting genes in a plant. Each gene has a dominant and a recessive allele: R black stem, r red stem; D tall plant, d dwarf plant; C full pods, c constricted pods; O round fruit, o oval fruit; H hairless leaves, h hairy leaves; W purple flower, w white flower From the cross (P1) RrDdccOoHhWw x (P2) RrddCcooHhww, determine: Note: RrDdccOoHhWw is one genotype. a. How many kinds of gametes can be formed by P1?b. How many genotypes are possible among the progeny of this cross?c. How many phenotypes are possible among the progeny?d. What is the probability of obtaining the RrDdccOohhww genotype in the progeny?e. What is the probability of obtaining a black, dwarf, constricted, oval, hairy, purple phenotype in the progeny?arrow_forwardI have a biology question, this is a matching question, which is only used once: The phenotype of the heterozygote is a blending of the phenotypes of both homozygotes. One allele masks the expression of the only other allele for the trait. One gene pair will interact so as to control the expression of a second gene pair One example is the ABO blood group system. When 3 or more pairs of genes control the expression of a trait. matched with: multiple alleles incomplete dominance polygenics dominance epistasisarrow_forward

- Improving the nutritional value of food has long been one of the goals in agricultural genetics. Crossing different strains of plants and animals followed by generations of artificial selection have yielded some successes, including the development of high-protein maize. The use of gene transfer biotechnology has led to other advances, including the creation of nutritionally enhanced rice to combat vitamin A deficiency and blindness. Researchers are now turning their attention to the nutritional enhancement of animals that are used as food. Scientists are now turning their attention to using gene transfer technology to nutritionally enhance animal foods. Recently, biotechnology was used to produce a sheep with increased amounts of an omega-3 essential fatty acid that plays an important role in the development of the nervous system and, in adults, reduces the risk of coronary artery disease. Once a small number of transgenic animals have been produced, they can be bred by conventional methods to establish a source of nutritionally enhanced meat and milk. The use of biotechnology is presenting consumers with many new choices, which will become more common in the future. Increasingly, we will all have to educate ourselves about the pros and cons of such decisions. How would you explain your decision to eat nutritionally enhanced meat from animals modified by biotechnology?arrow_forwardImproving the nutritional value of food has long been one of the goals in agricultural genetics.
