Summary Introduction

To determine: The effect on concentration of carbonic acid if the carbon dioxide concentration in the body is increased and its effect on the pH

Introduction: Carbonic acid (H2CO3) is made by the combination of carbon dioxide and water. It is formed in the body and its primary function is to transport carbon dioxide out of the body. The pH stands for “power of hydrogen.” The pH of a substance can be acidic, basic or neutral. The acidic substances have a pH of less than 7. The neutral substances have a pH of 7 and the basic substances have a pH greater than 7 which can go up to 14.

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…
