The diversity of the antibody molecules, in relation to the diversity of the enzymes, and whether every cell in the body contains genetic code for all the enzymes and immunoglobulin. Introduction: The immunoglobulins, which are also known as the antibodies, are the glycoprotein molecules and are produced by the leukocytes. They are responsible for the generation of the immune response in the body. The enzymes are the chemical structures, which helps to increase the rate of metabolic reactions , taking place in the body of an organism. All the cells, which are found in the body have all the genes, which are capable of coding for all the enzymes and the immunoglobulins. Based on the specific function of a cell, the genes are silenced and activated.

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…
