In this pedigree I 1 and II 2 have Becker muscular dystrophy which shows X-linked recessive inheritance. III 2 has oculocutaneous albinism which shows autosomal recessive inheritance with an incidence in the general population of 1 in 10 000. The disease status for both Becker muscular dystrophy and oculocutaneous albinism is unknown for IV 1 and IV 2.
What is the probability that IV 2 will be affected with oculocutaneous albinism?

The pressure-flow model, first proposed by Ernst Münch, Phloem loading at the source and phloem unloading at the sink establish the pressure gradient.

a.) In source tissues, an accumulation of sugars in the sieve elements generates a lower or negative solute potential (ψs).

 b.) source tissue, causes a steep drop in the water potential (ψ), due to water potential gradient, water enters the sieve elements and causes turgor pressure (ψp ) decrease.

c.) In sink tissues, phloem unloading leads to a lower sugar concentration in the sieve elements, generating a higher or less negative solute potential.

d.) As the water potential of the phloem rises above that of the xylem, water tends to leave the phloem in response to the water potential gradient, causing a decrease in turgor pressure in the sieve elements of the sink.

Which of the following statements of sink and source tissue is FALSE?

The normal eye color of Drosophila is red, but strains in which all flies have brown eyes are available. Similarly, wings are normally long, but there are strains with short wings. A female from a pure line with brown eyes and short wings is crossed with a male from a normal pure line. The F1 consists of normal females and short-winged males. An F2 is then produced by intercrossing the F1. Both sexes of F2 flies show phenotypes as follows:

Are genes for eye color and wing length x link or autosome?
