Question textDuring GEN2041 you realised science isn't for you so you quit university and become a watermelon farmer 🍉a. You have a diploid watermelon plant species that has 2n = 18 chromosomes. A tetraploid version of this species would most likely contain how many chromosomes?Answer 1 Question 11[input] chromosomes (1 mark) b. The farm you work on has some species with unknown ploidy, you run a similar experiment to what you did in GEN2041 but your microscope is fancy and you can actually measure stomatal guard cell lengths from the two plant populations. Your results are: [table] Population | Average guard cell length Population A | 28 µm Population B | 41 µm [/table] Which conclusion is MOST supported by the data (assuming watermelons are better at this than marigolds)? Multiple choice 1 Question 11Population A is likely tetraploidPopulation B is likely tetraploidBoth populations are diploidPolyploidy decreases cell sizeGuard cell size is unrelated to ploidy(1 mark)c. You decide to grow triploid watermelon plants. Why are triploid watermelons typically seedless?Multiple choice 2 Question 11Triploid plants cannot undergo mitosisTriploid plants lack reproductive organsOdd-numbered chromosome sets disrupt normal meiosisTriploids cannot replicate DNATriploid cells are too small to form seeds(1 mark)多项填空题
