(a)

Summary Introduction

Introduction: Osmolarity refers to the number of particles in solution. It is a property of every solution, and a person can be compared with the osmolarities of different solutions as long as with the concentrations that are expressed in the same units.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the cell volume of the body will decrease or increase or remain unchanged after sweat loss.

Introduction: The term tonicity is used to describe a solution and how that solution would affect the cell volume.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The volume and osmolarity of the cell after the sweat loss.

Introduction: Osmolarity describes the number of osmotically active particles (ions or molecules) per liter of solution. It is expressed in osmoles per liter or for very dilute solutions, milliosmoles per liter.

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the result for change in cell volume and osmolarity of the body matches with the above answers.

Introduction: Osmolarity and cell volume are interrelated. If the osmolarity of the cell increases, there is loss of water from the cell which decreases the cell volume.

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…
Question #5: Assume that two genes are identified that confer gametophytic facultative apomixis in soybean. The genes show independent assortment. Recessive alleles at both loci are required for the facultative apomixis. Facultative apomixis is triggered when the temperature at pollination is above 20 degrees C. At temperatures below 20 degrees C, all reproduction is sexual, independent of genotype. A facultative apomict male, capable of producing viable pollen, was crossed with a sexually reproducing female. Assuming the parents are completely inbred, what are the predicted phenotypic ratios (apomict: non-apomict) for the F1, F2, and DH (F1-derived) generations at each of the following temperatures*: a) 15°C? b) 25°C? *for full credit, show crosses and genotypes where appropriate. Remember to position the female first (left side) in the cross. Type your answer here:
