Abstract:
The amino acid pool in the endosperm of ovules ofRaphanus sativus var.sativus from 4x · 4x and 4x · 2x crosses was studied. There are striking differences between the two types of endosperm. In a normally functioning 6x endosperm (4x · 4x) the amino acid concentrations decrease sharply, though temporarily, especially between the 12th and 15th day after pollination. In 5x endosperm (4x · 2x) the amino acid concentrations are high and remain relatively unchanged. We assume this to be a metabolic anomaly and a possible cause for the degeneration of the embryo.

02:27Trihybrid 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...
