Concept explainers
a.
To determine:
The conclusion that can be drawn by the results obtained from mating mutant strains with wild-type strains of Neurospora.
Introduction:
In Neurospora, after meiosis, the four meiotic products undergo subsequent mitosis to produce eight spores in the ascus.
b.
To determine:
The conclusions that can be drawn by the results obtained from mating mutant strains.
Introduction:
Assume that the three mutant strains are referred to as trp1, trp2, and trp3. In each haploid strain of Neurospora, one mutant trp-
c.
To determine:
The number of PD, NPD, and T out of 100 octads.
Introduction:
The tetrad that has the parental configuration of alleles is known as parental ditype (PD). Nonparental ditype (NPD) contains four recombinant spores, two of each type. Tetratype (T) contains four different spores, two spores are recombinants, and two are parental.
d.
To draw:
The genetic map that can provide a suitable explaination for the given data.
Introduction:
The cross between trp1 and trp2 can be represented as follows:
e.
To determine:
The reason that the given case does not present the mating in the table as ordered octads.
Introduction:
First-division (MI) and second-division segregation pattern are the types of segregation pattern for each gene that can be seen by the ordered octads.
f.
To determine:
The reason that the distance between gene and centromere can be observed from crosses given in the table.
Introduction:
SCO (single crossover) refers to the meiosis that takes place with a single crossover between a particular gene pair.

In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules. If a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?arrow_forwardIf a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?arrow_forward

Please note that the focus of this assignment are the (biological) scientific issues associated with rewilding. As will be discussed in class, there are a number of non-scientific issues involved or implicated in rewilding, all ultimately affecting the public acceptability of rewilding. Although these issues are important – indeed, critical – in this assignment you should focus on the biological science issues and questions. Details: You must enumerate at least two pros and at least two cons. Your answer should be no more than 500 well-chosen words, excluding references. Think carefully about how best to organize and structure your answer. Aim for high information density: say a lot, but say it succinctly. Recall Nietzche’s…arrow_forward
