Respiration is a process of movement of air in and out of the lungs to facilitate the exchange of gases with the cells internally through blood. Total lung capacity is the total amount of air that can be filled in the lungs. For an adult the normal total lung capacity is 6 liters of air. The amount of air that is inhaled, exhaled and stored in the lungs for a given period is respiratory volume. Respiratory volume includes tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, expiratory reserve volume, and residual volume. The amount of air inhaled with maximum effort than normal in excess of the tidal volume is inspiratory reserve volume. The amount of air exhaled with maximal effort more than the tidal volume is expiratory reserve volume. The normal value of inspiratory reserve volume is 3000 mL and that of expiratory reserve volume is 1200 mL. Residual volume is the amount of volume that remains in the lungs even after maximal expiration and cannot be exhaled voluntarily. The normal value of residual volume is 1300 mL.

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…

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. Remember to position the female first (left side) in the cross. Type your answer here:
