a.
To determine: The conclusion for such a research results would lead to.
Introduction: Cytoplasmic male sterility is total or partial male sterility in plants as the result of specific nuclear and mitochondrial interactions.
b.
To determine: The genotype and the
Introduction: Male sterility is the failure of plants to produce functional anthers, pollen, or male gametes.
c.
To determine: The results of the testcross and genotypes and phenotypes.
Introduction: In corn breeding, the cytoplasm that was used initially to provide the male sterility was the Texas or T cytoplasm.
d.
To determine: The result of a cross in which the male parent is
- (i) heterozygous at both restorer loci.
- (ii) homozygous dominant at one restorer locus and homozygous recessive at the other.
- (iii) heterozygous at one restorer locus and homozygous recessive at the other.
- (iv) heterozygous at one restorer locus and homozygous dominant at the other.
Introduction: Hybrid production requires a plant from which no viable male gametes are introduced, and this selective exclusion of viable male gametes can be accomplished via different paths.

- Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Explain/discuss how “slow stop” and “quick/fast stop” mutants wereused to identify different protein involved in DNA replication in E. coli.arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question A gene that codes for a protein was removed from a eukaryotic cell and inserted into a prokaryotic cell. Although the gene was successfully transcribed and translated, it produced a different protein than it produced in the eukaryotic cell. What is the most likely explanation?arrow_forward
