Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The endomembrane system includes the Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles, and other kinds of vesicles. This system performs various kinds of functions in the cell such as protein synthesis and transportation of proteins into membranes.

Answer to Problem 1TYU

Correct answer:

The chloroplast is not a part of the endomembrane system. Therefore, option (b) is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

The chloroplast is a different organelle and has two-membrane system. It is used during photosynthesis in autotrophs. The chloroplast contains the membrane called the chloroplast envelope.

Option (b) is given as “chloroplast”.

As “chloroplast is not a part of the endomembrane system”, it is the right answer.

Hence, option (b) is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (a) is given as “nuclear envelop”.

A double-membrane system that separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm with perinuclear space is known as the nuclear envelope and is a part of the endomembrane system. Therefore, it is a wrong answer.

Option (c) is given as “Golgi apparatus”.

In the cytoplasm, a complex form of stacks is membrane-bound and that is known as the Golgi apparatus. The Golgi apparatus is a part of the endomembrane system. Therefore, it is a wrong answer.

Option (d) is given as “plasma membrane”.

The plasma membrane is a bilayer membrane which has two different layers. The inner layer is hydrophobic, and the outer layer is hydrophilic. The plasma membrane is a part of the endomembrane system. Therefore, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (a), (c) and (d) are incorrect.

Conclusion

The nuclear envelope, Golgi apparatus, and plasma membrane are the parts of the endomembrane system, but chloroplast is not a part of the endomembrane system.

The shape of radishes may be long (SL/SL), oval (SL/SS), or round (SS/SS), and the color of radishes may be red (CR/CR), purple (CR/CW) or white (CW/CW).  If a long, red radish plant is crossed with a round, white plant, what will be the appearance of the F1 and F2 generations?
None
Question #3: In the KeyGene paper, the authors state that it would be useful if pollen from an apomict would transmit apomixis-inducing genes to the female in the cross (assuming the pollen is viable). Assuming there was just one gene conferring gametophytic obligate apomixis, and that the two parents are inbreds, what would be the consequences of such a cross if: a) The apomixis was a dominant trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the parental cross. b) The apomixis was a recessive trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the…
