Textbook Question
Chapter 40, Problem 3A
In Iowa, a company called Team Corn works to ensure that fields of seed com outcross so that hybrid vigor can be maintained They do this by removing the staminate (that h, pollen-producing) flowcrs from the corn plants In an attempt to put Team Corn out of business, you would like to develop genetically engineered corn plants that
a contain Z genes to prevent germination of pollen on the sitgmatic surface.
b contain.S genes to stop pollen tube growih during sclf-fertlization.
c express B-typc homeooc genes throughout developing flowers.
d. express A-typc homeotie genes throughout developing flowers.

The plant on the left is wild-type (unmutated); theother carries a mutation that causes its flowers to havesepals and petals instead of stamens and carpels.

- Under which of the following conditions would pollen from an S2S5 plant successfully pollinate an S1S5 flower? a. Using pollen from a carpelate flower to fertilize a staminate flower would be successful. b. If the plants used gametophytic self-incompatibility, half of the pollen would be successful. c. If the plants used sporophytic self-incompatibility, half of the pollen would be successful. d. Pollen from an S2S5 plant can never pollinate an S1S5 flower.arrow_forwardPlants reproduce through various methods. Explain which method helps to create genetic variability in crop plants? Moreover elaborate mechanisms promoting self or cross pollination.arrow_forwardBolting is when a plant starts to spend its energy on producing flowers. Initial bolting time is figured by the number of days from germination to bolting. Rosette area is figured by the average rosette area of the plant at the time of bolting. Researchers created strains of A. thaliana to have varying somatic ploidy levels to study the resulting phenotypes. The graphs show how initial bolting time and rosette area relate to the number of chromosomes in each strain’s somatic cells. Which of the following best describes how a change in genotype affects the phenotype of A. thaliana? The largest average change in both phenotypes occurred from the 2n to the 4n strain. The largest average change in both phenotypes occurred from the 4n to the 6n strain. A lesser number of chromosomes results in plants with a later initial bolting time. A greater number of chromosomes results in plants that have larger rosettes areas.arrow_forward
