Abstract:
In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of Tradescantia pallida (Rose) D.R.Hunt was investigated. The whole chloroplast genome sequence is 166,086 bp in length, which consists of a 94,376 bp large single copy (LSC) and an 18,678 bp small single copy (SSC) regions, separated by a pair of 26,518 bp inverted repeat (IR) regions. The chloroplast genome of T. pallida encodes 131 annotated known unique genes including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on chloroplast genome sequences demonstrated that T. pallida is most closely related to Belosynapsis ciliate.

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...
