Chapter 27, Problem 1TY
Which of the following features is common to prokaryotic cells?
- a. a nucleus, featuring a nuclear envelope with pores
- b. mitochondria
- c. plasma membranes
- d. mitotic spindle
- e. none of the above
Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Prokaryotic cells are primitive and most abundant types of cells present on the Earth. They differ in many features from the advanced eukaryotic cells found on the surface of the Earth.
Answer to Problem 1TY
Correct answer: Plasma membranes are the structures that are common to prokaryotic cells. Hence, the correct answer is option c.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct answer:
All type of cells possesses plasma or cell membranes. These membranes are made up of lipids and act as a protective barrier between the internal and external environment of the cell. So, plasma membranes are present in prokaryotic cells.
Option c. is given as “plasma membranes”.
The structure or feature that is common to prokaryotic cells is plasma membrane. Hence, the correct answer is option c.
Reasons for incorrect answer:
Option a. is given as, “a nucleus, featuring a nuclear envelope with pores”.
The prokaryotic cells do not possess a well-defined membrane bound nuclei, but it encompasses a nucleoid. Hence, option a. is incorrect.
Option b. is given as, “mitochondria”.
Mitochondria act as powerhouse for the eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells do not contain mitochondria. Hence, option b. is incorrect.
Option d. is given as, “mitotic spindle”.
Mitotic spindles are collective web of fibers that are present in eukaryotic cells. These fibers are used during division of chromosomes. These structures are not present in the prokaryotic cells. Hence, option d. is incorrect.
Option e. is given as, “none of the above”.
Plasma membrane is common to prokaryotic cells and the correct option is answer c. Hence, option e. is incorrect.
Hence, the options a., b., d., and e. are incorrect.
Conclusion
The prokaryotic cells possess plasma membranes made up of lipids and proteins.

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…

- 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.
