Chapter 35, Problem 7TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The roots nodules present in the legume plants are characteristically formed as a result of a mutualistic relationship with bacteria involved in nitrogen fixation (Bradyrhizobium and Rhizobium). The relationship is formed as the nod gene products of the bacteria that permits it to infect the cells of root cortex and then proliferate.

According to data from genome sequences, cytoplasmic dynein is absent in some plants (e.g.,Arabidopsis) and present in others (e.g.,rice).Does this finding surprise you? What else might you do to confirm or refute such a statement? How is it possible that higher plant cells could operate without cytoplasmic dynein?

- Experiment: In this activity yo Page 5 ze the results of experiments that investigate nutritional requirement of several mutant strains of yeast. The mutations in these strains cause a nutritional requirement for an amino acid, such that the strains will not grow in media that lack one specific amino acid. Any mutant that has a nutritional requirement is called an auxotroph, and is incapable of growing in a "minimal medium" containing only a carbon source (e.g., glucose), a simple nitrogen source (e.g., ammonium sulfate), and various salts and minerals. Such strains can be supported on a medium supplemented with only the missing nutrient or on a "rich" medium that contains amino acids, vitamins, nitrogenous bases, etc. (often in the form of an extract from yeast). The wild-type individual that can synthesize the metabolic component is a prototroph, and is capable of growth on minimal medium. The mutant strains in this activity are unable to synthesize tryptophan, lysine, or histidine;…arrow_forwardCreate workplan step by step on regenerating a BT maize plant selecting using phosphinothricin herbicide.

Rye, for instance, is killed by freezing at about -5°C, but after a period of exposure to low nonfreezing temperature can survive freezing down to about -30°C. When exposed to low temperatures, plants exhibit an increased expression of certain cold-induced genes that function to stabilize cell membranes against freeze-induced injury. The ability of an individual plant to develop freezing tolerance is best described as an example of: Genetic drift OMutation O Allopatric speciation OAdaptation Acclimation Freeze-induced cellular dehydrationarrow_forward

This auxotroph is also able to grow if you supplement the medium with D. Does this data support the one gene-one enzyme hypothesis? a yes, because only one enzyme is disrupted by the mutation b yes, because only one enzyme in the pathway is functional in the mutant strain c no, because multiple enzymes in the pathway could be functional in the mutant strain d no, because multiple enzymes could be disrupted by the mutationarrow_forward
