Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 13A
Semi conservative replication is a mechanism by which each strand of DNA serves as a template to synthesize new DNA molecule.
Explanation of Solution
Each DNA molecule consists of two strands. Both the strands have complementary base pairs. During replication each strand serves as a template to synthesize new DNA molecule. Replication of DNA produces two molecules from one. Each molecule has one original strand and one new strand. The two DNA molecules are identical to the original DNA molecule.
This method of replication is called semi conservative replication as one strand of DNA in the new molecule is from the original DNA molecule. So the DNA is partly conserved in the new molecule of DNA. A new strand is made from the original strand of DNA.

- 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.
