Assignment 1 for Plant and Animal Genetics

Now the study model for plant is rice.

1. Name three domesticated lines of rice that you know of.

2. What is genome size of the these three that you know of?
3. In the area of cytogenetics and reproductive biology and phenotype , what
are the differences, put in a table.
4. As for genome studies, what is genome size of rice, if possible by species.
5. In a plant genome, list the important functional classes of genes that you are
interested for improvement
6. Are there any repetitive elements in rice, what sort of repetitive region?
7. If we need to know evolutionay history, which region would you recommend?
8. If you studying domestication, whish region would you study?
9. If you are studying plant defence?, which region would you study?
10.If you are studying nutritional value, which region would you study?
11.What is rice closest species?
12.What are transposable elements?
13.Genome of rice , you should know by now, if I now want to construct BAC
clones, how many clones do I need..

Have fun guys in these assignment..
