Chapter 22, Problem 13P

In a certain plant, leaf size is determined by four genes whose alleles assort independently and act additively. Thus, alleles A, B, C, and D each add 4 cm to leaf length and alleles A′, B′, C′, and D′ each add 2 cm to leaf length. Therefore, an AA BB CC DD plant has leaves 32 cm long and an AABBCCDD′ plant has leaves 16 cm long.

a. If true-breeding plants with leaves 32 cm long are crossed to true-breeding plants with leaves 16 cm long, the F will have leaves 24 cm long and the genotype AABBCCDD′. List all possible leaf lengths and their expected frequencies in the F generation produced from these F plants. (Hint: Recall Problem 45e in Chapter 2.)
b. Now assume that in a randomly mating population the following allele frequencies occur:
frequency of A = 0.9
frequency of A’ = 0.1
frequency of B = 0.9
frequency of B’ = 0.1
frequency of C = 0.1
frequency of C’ = 0.9
frequency of D = 0.5
frequency of D’ = 0.5
Calculate separately the expected frequency in this population of the three possible genotypes for each of the four genes.
c. What proportion of the plants in the population described in part (b) will have leaves that are 32 cm long?

Overview of Transformation Protocol   -Prepare competent bacteria for transformation: Treat starter E. coli bacteria with CaCl2and Competent Cell Solution (CCS). Store on ice until transformation procedure. Competent cells are cells that are likely to take up foreign DNA and be transformed. This step increases the likelihood that the E. coli cells will take up the introduced vector and be transformed. -Transformation procedure: Obtain two microcentrifuge tubes containing your competent cells. Label one tube +DNA and one -DNA. Add CaCl2 to both tubes. Add the transformation mix containing the plasmid DNA to the tube labeled +DNA. Do not add any plasmid DNA to the -DNA tube. Incubate both tubes on ice for 10 minutes. Then, place both tubes in a 42\deg C water bath for 45 seconds. Replace the tubes in an ice bucket for 2 minutes. Add recovery broth to both tubes. Incubate both tubes in a 37 C water bath for 5 minutes.   Questions: 1)What is the selectable marker in this experiment? How…
Based on your results, which suspect's DNA best matches the DNA found at the crime scene?
In oxidase test with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the cell cultures on the slide turn colorless to be purple after tetra-methyl-p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride (TMPD) is added. In the reaction, OTMPD is electron acceptor O cytochrome c is the electron source oxygen is terminal electron acceptor OH2 produced is electron donor
