The condition of the patient J, whose kidney has been damaged and this caused the proteins to be removed from the blood. The reason for the effect on the osmotic pressure of the blood in capillaries, compared with that of the surrounding interstitial fluid and the reason for the development of the swelling in Juan’s arms and legs. Introduction: The infection and damage to the kidneys of the patient has caused the removal of the plasma proteins from the blood. The movement of the ions, metabolites and nutrients takes place from the tubules to the interstitial fluid across the aquaporin channels in the membrane. The net effect of the force developed due to the blood pressure and the osmotic pressure causes the movement of the ions and metabolites inside the interstitial fluid. This causes the development of the swelling in the arms and legs, due to the accumulation of the plasma proteins in the blood after its removal from the kidney cells.

Summary Introduction

To analyze: The condition of the patient J, whose kidney has been damaged and this caused the proteins to be removed from the blood. The reason for the effect on the osmotic pressure of the blood in capillaries, compared with that of the surrounding interstitial fluid and the reason for the development of the swelling in Juan’s arms and legs.

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…
