Chapter 36, Problem 9TY

During its development, a tracheid elongates in a direction parallel to the shoot or root axis. Based on this information, what can you say about the orientation of cell-wall cellulose microfibrils and cytoplasmic microtubules in the developing tracheid?

a. The microfibrils will be oriented perpendicularly (at right angles) to the long axis of the developing tracheid, encircling it, but the cytoplasmic microtubules will be oriented parallel to the direction in which the tracheid is elongating.

b. Microfibrils and microtubules will both be oriented perpendicularly (at right angles) to the elongating axis of the tracheid.

c. Microfibrils and microtubules will both be oriented parallel to the direction of tracheid elongation.

d. Microfibrils will be oriented parallel to the direction of tracheid elongation, but microtubules will be perpendicular (at right angles) to both the microfibrils and the elongating tracheid.

e. None of the above is correct.

There are many differences between DNA replication happening during mitosis in a Douglas fir tree growing in the Oregon Cascade Mountains and DNA replication happening during a PCR reaction in a forestry research lab at Oregon State University where the laboratory is amplifying a Simple Sequence Repeat. Complete the following table that compares the two DNA replication events in terms of the primers, the nucleotides, the polymerase, and the target sequence. Additionally, give a general value for the number of copies of the template DNA after one S phase in one cell and after the lab has completed the PCR reaction.
