Plant Physiology Review for Quiz 4/09/13 1. What is Plant Physiology? Plant physiology is the study of the functions of plants. 2. What is the difference between phenotype and genotype The difference between phenotype and genotype is that phenotype is the external characteristics and genotype is the genetic make up 3. What are the two types of cell walls? The two types of cell walls are primary cell wall and secondary cell wall. 4. What are the most abundance components of the CELL

100 words: 1. Describe the phenotypes that you observed in the F1 cross. 2. The phenotypes I observed in the F1 cross was the reddish eyes that came from the “wild type” father. This is because “wild type” trait is dominant. So the “brown eye” trait does not show in the offspring. In addition‚ the “wild type” body color from the mother was dominant‚ so this is what showed in the offspring‚ instead of the “ebony” coloring from the father. 3. Describe the phenotypes that you observed in the testcross

etc. Monohybrid - one pair of alleles determine a trait. (Most traits are not determined by a single allele pair‚ but these will be used as an example). Use of Punnett Square - a grid used to determine the possible genotypes‚ and thus resulting phenotypes of offspring. Utilizes the alleles of both parents. Sex Linked Inheritance Of the 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes‚ 22 pairs are referred to as autosomes. (8)___Autosomes__________ contain genes that determine most body characteristics. The 23rd

Purpose To provide practice in using appropriate methods to answer questions and solve problems about monohybrid inheritance. Questions Q1 Some forms of albinism‚ a genetic disorder‚ may be due to a single gene mutation. The allele for albinism is recessive to the allele for no albinism. A woman is heterozygous for albinism. Her male partner is homozygous for the ‘normal’ allele. a Does the woman suffer from the condition? no b What percentage of their children are likely to be carriers

Achondroplasia In humans achondroplasia is the most common form of non-lethal skeletal dysplasia (short limb dwarfism)‚ affecting over 250‚000 people worldwide. The incidence is approximately one in 10‚000-30‚000 live births. (1-7) Achondroplasia is characterised by short stature (average height of 120-132cm (2‚3)) with disproportionately shorter proximal limb bones‚ a long trunk with a narrow thorax‚ macrocephaly with frontal bossing and mid face hyperplasia. (1-4) People with achondroplasia also

Genetic Observations Through The Studies of Hybrid Corn‚ Single Gene Human Traits‚ and Fruit Flies The basic foundation of modern genetics was led by Gregor Mendel (Corcos‚ 1993). Mendel was not the first to experiment with heredity‚ and our Lyman Briggs biology class will not be the last to deal with genetics. Genetics is the science of heredity. In our lab‚ we had three main objectives. First‚ we evaluated our data on monohybrid and dihybrid corn cross seed counts against Mendel ’s theoretical
