Summary Introduction

To explain: The facts that suggest the plastids of chlorarachniophytes are surrounded by four membranes and enclose a nucleomorph.

Introduction: Protists are microscopic organisms that belong to the kingdom “Protista”. These have been classified into various categories depending upon their mode of nutrition.

Explanation of Solution

The four membranes of chlorarachniophytes indicate the secondary symbiosis of a green alga. Green alga has chloroplasts that originated from the primary endosymbiont. Out of the four membranes of chlorarachniophytes, inner two membranes belong to the chloroplast of green algae. The third membrane belongs from the outer membrane of alga, and the outer membrane belongs from the heterotrophic eukaryotic food vacuole. The vestigial nucleus in the secondary symbiosis of a green alga specifies the process that occurred recently and the genetic sequence of the process toward the origin of green algae.

You implant an FGF10-coated bead into the anterior flank of a chicken embryo, directly below the level of the wing bud. What is the phenotype of the resulting ectopic limb?  Briefly describe the expected expression domains of 1) Shh, 2) Tbx4, and 3) Tbx5 in the resulting ectopic limb bud.
Design a grafting experiment to determine if limb mesoderm determines forelimb / hindlimb identity. Include the experiment, a control, and an interpretation in your answer.
The Snapdragon is a popular garden flower that comes in a variety of colours, including red, yellow, and orange. The genotypes and associated phenotypes for some of these flowers are as follows: aabb: yellow AABB, AABb, AaBb, and AaBB: red AAbb and Aabb: orange aaBB: yellow aaBb: ? Based on this information, what would the phenotype of a Snapdragon with the genotype aaBb be and why?   Question 21 options:   orange because A is epistatic to B   yellow because A is epistatic to B   red because B is epistatic to A   orange because B is epistatic to A   red because A is epistatic to B   yellow because B is epistatic to A
