Summary Introduction

To determine: The three reasons for monitoring and regulating the pH of ECF.

Introduction: The different metabolic processes work to maintain homeostasis in the body. The mechanism like the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system maintains the fluid balance in the body by regulating different organs system like the urogenital system, acid-base mechanisms, cardiovascular system, and nervous system.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The three mechanism taken by body to cope up with change in the pH.

Introduction: Certain elements are essential for the functioning of the body as they play an important role in the composition of various biomolecules like protein, carbohydrates, nucleic acid, and lipids. Some elements are present in traces as they are not required in large quantities by the body. The electrolytes help in the regulation of acid-base balance in the body.

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…
