Summary Introduction

To describe:

The parts of the plant and the flower.

Introduction:

The plants are the living things, which are able to produce the food by using sunlight, water and carbon dioxide. They synthesize their food in the process known as photosynthesis.

Explanation of Solution

The plant can be broadly divided into two main body, the root system and the shoot system. The root system is the part of the plant present inside the ground and the shoot system is the part of the plant present above the ground. The root has one main body, which is known as the tap root. This body gives rise to the branch roots, which are smaller and widespread in the soil.

The shoot system mainly consists of stem, branches and the leaves. The stem is a long solid pipe like structure that give rise to the branches. The point where a branch emerges from the stem is called node. The space between two nodes is known as the internode. The branches further divided into the flat green surface known as leaf or leaf blade. The flowering plants have a bright color structure called flowers. The flower is the site of sexual reproduction in plants. The fruit is the food storage site of the plants, which are mostly consumed by the heterotrophs.

The stem is a solid structure made of three substances. The outer lining of the stem is known as the epidermal layer. The stem has a bundle of vascular tissues, that is xylem and the phloem and the remaining space is occupied by the ground substance.

The flower is the site of sexual reproduction in the plants. A typical flower has both male and female reproductive part, but some species may have a single sexual part. The structure of a flower consists of sepal, petal, carpel and stigma. The carpel is the female reproductive part and consists of stigma, style and ovary. The stigma receives the male pollen and style is the tube through which the pollen pass to the ovary. The ovary contains female gametes and ovule. The ovule forms the seed or the embryo. The male part is stamen, which consists of anther and filament. The anther contains the male gamete that is the pollen grain.

Conclusion

The plant body consists of root and shoot system and the flower consists of sepals, petals, carpel and stamen.

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:
