Genomics

Genes are responsible for transmitting the characters located on the chromosomes from one individual to another across the generations. Genetics is the study of different genes that are involved in different functions. Genetics is a branch of biology that studies genes, genetic diversity, and heredity in living organisms. The genetic system consists of genetic notations, which is a system of signs and symbols. Genotype refers to the organism's genetic composition, and phenotype refers to the observable property of the organism.

Explain about auxotroph. Define its working ?
Provide five (5) advantages of using the micropropagation technique of propagating plantlets as compared to the conventional method.
1) Complementation occurs when auxotrophic organisms provide a wildtype allele that another auxotroph is lacking to produce a needed molecule for a chemical pathway. The wt allele can be passed on through horizontal gene flow, or the interaction of the auxotrophs during reproduction produces an offspring with a 'rescued' phenotype due to independent assortment returning favorable recombination of function alleles. If a researcher interacts four auxotrophs, and mutant -1 complements mutants -2, -3, and -4, and mutant -2 complements mutants -3 and -4, and mutant -3 complements -4, how many genes are indicated? a) Four genes! b) One gene with four alleles! c) Three genes with one allele. d)A complementation chart was not provided so I cannot answer this question. 2) An inheritance ratio of 12:3:4 is a sure indication of: a) Incomplete assortment. b) A dihybrid example of codominance. c) Dominant epistasis. d) Recessive epistasis.
