The effect of bees on the fruit mass and seed formation. Introduction: Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther (male part) of a flower to the stigma (female part) of a flower. Pollination occurs within the same plant (self-pollination) and where the female and male parts are present on the separate flowers or plants (cross- pollination). The pollination is a necessary process for the plants in order to reproduce and produce seeds. Most of the plants depend on bees or insects for it. These are pollinators that collect the pollen and nectar from the flowering plant. In the given experiment, the seeds of gooseberry plant were self-pollinated, cross-pollinated by hand, and cross-pollinated by bees. The results of the experiment are given in the graph below:

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for? 3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
