Abstract:
Chromosome numbers and other cytogenetic data were determined from microsporocytes in 316 collections including 13 tribes of Compositae, mostly from Africa, Australia, Mexico, Central America, and South America. First reports are provided for 66 species and the genera Cassinia (2n ≈ 14(II)), Feldstonia (2n = 11(II)), Gochnatia (2n ≈ 23(II)), and Pseudoconyza (n = 10). In addition, new chromosome numbers are established at the generic level in Acourtia, Calea, Craspedia, Gnaphalium, Helipterum, Liabum, Leucheria, Smallanthus, Trixis, and Viguiera and at the specific level in 13 additional species.

Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal chance to...
