To apply: Genetic information is encoded in the sequence of nucleotides on DNA. Suppose that the nucleotide sequence on one strand of a double helix encodes the information needed to synthesize a hemoglobin molecule. Do an individual think that the sequence of nucleotides on the other strand of the double helix also encodes useful information and explain the reason that DNA is double-stranded. Introduction : DNA is a genetic material which is responsible for the passing of information from one generation to other. It is a double helical structure that consists of two parallel strands made up of nucleotides. DNA replication is a process by which a DNA molecule replicated or multiplied in numbers. Unwinding, complementary base pairing and joining of the strands are the three major steps of DNA replication.

The shape of radishes may be long (SL/SL), oval (SL/SS), or round (SS/SS), and the color of radishes may be red (CR/CR), purple (CR/CW) or white (CW/CW). If a long, red radish plant is crossed with a round, white plant, what will be the appearance of the F1 and F2 generations?

None

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…
