Expert Solution & Answer

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The comparison between the relative thickness of the walls of the heart chambers of the fetal pig.

Introduction:

The circulatory system of a pig contains a four-chambered heart that pumps blood to and from the lungs and other body parts. The blood transports back to the heart via veins and the blood is transported to the other body parts by arteries.

Explanation of Solution

There are four chambers in the heart of the fetal pig, the right ventricle, the right atrium, the left ventricle, and the left atrium. The walls of the atrium are much thin as compared to the ventricle. Moreover, the left ventricle is much thicker than the right ventricle.

Conclusion

The walls of the atrium are much thin as compared to the ventricle. Moreover, the left ventricle is much thicker than the right ventricle.

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…
