Assume that two pigments, red and bluc, mix to give the normal purple color of petunia petals. Separate biochemical pathways synthesize the two pigments, as shown in pathways I and Il in the accompanying diagram. "White" refers to compounds that are not pigments (total lack of pigment results in a white petal). Red pigment forms from a yellow intermediate that is normally at a concentration loo kow to color petals. Bluc mixed with yellow makes green. Assume that no mutations are lethal. Pathway I.. White Blue Pathway I White, Yellow Red Pathway II White, White, A third pathway, whose compoundk do not contribute pelal pigmentation, normally docs not allfect the bluc and red pathways. However, if one of its intermediates (white3) should build up in concentration, it can be converted into the ycllow intermediate of the red pathway. In the diagram, the letiers A through E represent enzymes. The enzymes' correspoonding genes, all of which are unlinked, may be symbolized by the same letters.…

Would you simply answer the question for me, i saw many answers for it but still not sure. The flower color of genetically identical hemp plants (clones) is purple when the flowers develop under cold environment (30 °C). Describe in detail a molecular mechanism that could explain how these two groups of genetically identical plants differ in their gene expressions to produce different flower colors?
In paper chromatography of spinach leaves: (a) Which of the pigments moves faster and why? (b) Which of the pigments stands out?
If GUS is present in the Arabidopsis Thaliana plant , what does that mean ? What are the explained results ?
Gene Vellow Pigment ,in some plants White By-product ENZYME Rabbits that have the active form of this gene produce white-colored fat. Rabbits who have the defective form of this gene produce yellow- colored fat. However, there is an environmental complication of this trait. (See the following questions.) 1. If a rabbit that has the active form of the gene is fed plants with the pigment, what color is its fat? 2. If a rabbit with the defective gene is fed plants with the pigment, what çolor is its fat?
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?
. In a certain plant, the flower petals are normally purple.Two recessive mutations arise in separate plants and arefound to be on different chromosomes. Mutation 1 (m1)gives blue petals when homozygous (m1/m1). Mutation2 (m2) gives red petals when homozygous (m2/m2).Biochemists working on the synthesis of flower pigments in this species have already described the following pathway:colorless (white)compoundblue pigmentred pigmentenzyme Aenzyme Ba. Which mutant would you expect to be deficient inenzyme A activity?b. A plant has the genotype M1/m1 ; M2/m2. Whatwould you expect its phenotype to be?c. If the plant in part b is selfed, what colors of progenywould you expect and in what proportions?d. Why are these mutants recessive?
You identify an auxotroph that doesn't grow in normal medium, but does grow in medium supplemented with Q, indicating that it has a defect in one or more enzymes in this pathway. 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 mutation

Please asnwer the following question: Suppose you specifically want to measure the amount of beta-glucose present in a sample. You have an enzyme that reacts specifically with the beta form of the sugar,and produces a signal that is easy to measure. However, every time you try to measure the amount of beta-glucose, mutarotation occurs and the alpha form of the sugar is converted into beta!! Can you suggest a simple way of overcoming this problem so you could measure only the beta form of the sugar? HINT: Is there a way you can prevent mutarotation?
1. A yeast variant was discovered that had a shorter glycolytic pathway. This "mutant" yeast made a novel enzyme that catalyzed the following reaction: Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate + H; + NAD* E→3-phosphoglycerate + NADH + H* (HINT: Examine ATP production from glucose in each case below.) A. Would you expect this novel yeast strain to grow well under anaerobic conditions using glucose as a carbon source? Explain. B. Would you expect this novel yeast strain to grow well under aerobic conditions using glucose as a carbon source? Explain.
