The vegetative and reproductive organs in plants and their major functions. Introduction: Vegetative propagation or vegetative reproduction is the process of multiplication in which a portion of the fragment may be root, stem, and leaf of the plant body. It functions as propagators and develops into a new individual. V egetative propagation can be brought by various artificial techniques such as grafting, layering, cutting, bulb, tuber or stolon formation, and tissue culture. Some plants are able to multiply by vegetative methods, which involve the production of new plants without the act of fertilization or sexual union. On the other hand, in sexual reproduction, plants which consist of reproduction units termed as flower consist of various subparts. (Androecium and Gynoecium)

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for? 3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
