Summary Introduction
To determine:
The functions of GAGs in ground substances.
Concept introduction:
Ground substance is a mixture of proteoglycans and glycoprotein, which fills the space between cells and fiber, and it also participates in the binding of cells to the fibers in a connective tissue. Its consistency varies from fluid to gel.

aaBB: yellow
aaBb: ?
Based on this information, what would the phenotype of a Snapdragon with the genotype aaBb be and why?

An isotonic solution had been added instead of water.
A solution of 0.1 M NaCl had been added instead of water.

The change in Mr due to oxygen binding causes the oxy haemoglobin to have a higher absorbance peak. 4. Oxy-haemoglobin is contaminated by carbaminohemoglobin, and therefore has a higher absorbance peak 5.

So you make the same cross again (between a homozygous black seeded, mold susceptible parent and a homozygous white seeded and mold resistant parent), and, again, advance progeny by SSD to create 100 F10 generation plants. Based on the information you obtained from your first crossing experiment (Question #4), how many F10 plants would you expect to have black seeds and be resistant to mold? Assume that a toxin produced by the mold fungus has been isolated. Only mold resistant seeds will germinate in the presence of the toxin. Could you use this toxin screening procedure to have segregation distortion work in your favor in the F2 generation? Explain your answer. Info from Question 4 a. P Locus (Seed Color): Hypothesis: The null hypothesis (H₀) is that seed color is controlled by alleles at a single locus. Observed Data: Total white seeds: 45 (resistant plants) + 6 (susceptible plants) = 51 Total black seeds: 7 (resistant…arrow_forward
