Summary Introduction

To determine:

In what way the healthcare workers confirm to the patient that she is infected with leprosy; what kind of leprosy the patient is infected with (more likely to have); what is the suitable treatment for her illness; who are at risk of contracting the disease (family members or emergency branch personnel).

Case summary:

A woman with burns (third-degree) on the second and third fingers of her left hand, reached the hospital (emergency department). She tells the nurse that she had been sitting in her room, watching the news, holding a cigarette, when she observed the burning odor.  When she rose to inspect, she saw that her second and third fingers were smouldering and blackened, where the cigarette had burned down. She throws away the cigarette with a jerk. She wondered why the burning caused her no pain.

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…
