a.
To define: Cytology
Introduction: Cell is a membrane bound unit that is present in all living beings and constitutes the basic unit of life. It contains different organelles to carry out different functions. Some cells are specific to their functions.
a.

Explanation of Solution
The branch of biology that deals with the study of cell and the cellular organelles are called as cytology. Cytology is the field that is concerned with the
b.
To explain: The way in which the cell biologists use a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) to study.
Introduction: Cells are fundamental unit of life. Some cells are macroscopic and some cells are microscopic. Cells show different shapes and sizes. Cells work together to perform common functions. Cells consists of different organelles that have different shapes and sizes and perform specialized functions.
b.

Explanation of Solution
A Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) directs an electron beam through a thin-cut section of the specimen. A two-dimensional image of the specimen is focused either onto a screen or onto a photographic film. A TEM allows the cell biologist to visualize the details of the specimen’s internal structures. In TEM, the specimen magnifies up to 50,000X.
c.
To explain: What does a scanning electron microscope (SEM) shows the best.
Introduction: Unicellular organisms are raised from single cell, but multi-cellular organisms are raised from many cells. Microscopy is the use of microscope to view the small-scale structures. It has an important role in anatomic investigation.
c.

Explanation of Solution
The SEM is best used to see the three-dimensional surface structure of a specimen. A SEM is a type of electron microscope that produces images of a sample by scanning the surface with a focused beam of electrons.
d.
To explain: The advantages of light microscope to have over both TEM and SEM.
Introduction: The light microscopy stains help in visualizing the cell components by binding to specific cell components and influencing the light beam that passes through them. In contrary, in electron microscopy, stains bind differently to cell components and help in generating images by influencing the beam of electrons that passes through the specimen.
d.

Explanation of Solution
Microscopy is the use of microscope to see an object that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Light microscopy uses the light to view the specimen, but in electron microscopy, a beam of electron is used to view the specimen. Light microscope is to study the living cells and the TEM and SEM is to study the magnified view of the cell. The light microscope shows fewer artifacts than TEM and SEM.

- Linkage in common bean Alleles at the P locus control seed color. Plants which are pp have white seeds, white flowers and no pigment in vegetative parts. Plants which are P_ have black seeds, purple flowers and may have varying degrees of pigment on stems and leaves. Seed color can be assessed, visually, based on if the seed is white or not white A gene for mold resistance has been reported and we want to determine its inheritance and whether it is linked to P. For the purposes of this exercise, we will assume that resistance is controlled by a single locus M, and M_ plants are resistant and mm plants are susceptible. Resistance can be measured, under greenhouse conditions, 2 weeks after planting, by injecting each seedling with a spore suspension. After two weeks, the seedlings can be rated as resistant or susceptible, based on whether or not tissue is actively sporulating. For this exercise we will use seed and data from the F10 generation of a recombinant inbred population…arrow_forwardAlleles at the P locus control seed color.
