Chapter 39, Problem 1DA
Summary Introduction

To explain: That how differences in red to far-red light ratio arise and the impact they have on plants grown in different environments.

Introduction: The plants are mainly multicellular, predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae. The parts of plants include stem, roots, leaves, flowers, fruit, and seeds. The leaves are a part of plants that are generally green and attached to it by a stalk or stem.

Explanation of Solution

The red light is absorbed by the leaves at a greater rate than the far-red light, as the sunlight passes by the canopy. The relative amounts of far-red and red light are integrated by plant signaling through phytochrome to regulate the growth and development of plants. For example, germination of seed is inhibited as the relative amount of far-red light increases. Therefore, in a below shady canopy, germination of seeds would have less chance of survival because of reduced photosynthesis. Alternatively, the information about the reduced sunlight could signal rapid elongation of stem to get the plants closer to adequate sunlight for photosynthesis.

3. In the tomato, red fruit (O+) is dominant over orange fruit (0), and yellow flowers (W+) are dominant over white flowers (w). A cross was made between true-breeding plants with red fruit and yellow flowers, and plants with orange fruit and white flowers. The F₁ plants were then crossed to plants with orange fruit and white flowers, which produced the following results: a. b. 333 red fruit, yellow flowers 64 red fruit, white flowers 58 orange fruit, yellow flowers 350 orange fruit, white flowers Conduct a chi-square analysis to demonstrate that these two genes DO NOT assort independently. Make sure to interpret the P value obtained from your chi-square test. Calculate and provide the map distance (in map units) between the two genes.

Gray Wolf Species Name: Canis lupus Color: Light gray to black Size: 80-120 pounds, 2.5 feet tall Appearance: broad snout, round ears, long tail Coyote Species Name: Canis latrans Color: Light gray to brown Size: 20-50 pounds, 1.5 feet tall Appearance: narrow snout, pointed ears, long tail Dog, Alaskan Malamute Species Name: Canis lupus familiaris Color: Gray and white or brown and white Size: 70-80 pounds, 2 feet tall Appearance: broad snout, round ears, long tail 1. Examine the images and descriptions above. Underline any similarities between the dog and the wolf. Place a star next to any coyote traits that are similar to the dog. 2. Based on appearance alone, which do you think is the most closely related to a dog? www.biologycorner.com
