The potato periderm is the outer tissue of potato tubers that protects the tuber from pathogen attack, dehydration and wounding during harvest and storage. It is secondary in origin and replaces the epidermis early during tuber development. The outer layers of the periderm consist of cells with suberized walls. The layers of cork, cork cambium and secondary cortex constitute the protective covering called periderm.
When we peel the skin of a potato tuber, we remove periderm.

In woody dicotyledons, the arrangement of vessels is either diffuse porous or ring porous. Based on these data, which one of the following statements is correct?
  1. Ring porous vessels are specialised and are used for conducting more water for a shorter period only, when tyloses occur early in the vessels
  2. Although diffuse porous vessels are not so specialized as ring porous vessels, they conduct more water at all periods and through new lem vessels added gradually during development
  3. Diffuse porous vessels carry more water and also faster because of a greater number of small vessels having greater capillary force
  4. Ring porous vessels conduct more water as they are formed early during development, when the need for water is great

Question 3 What traits could the student in Question #2 evaluate to get at least partial fitness estimates of her mouse populations given her time limitations? Select ALL choices that apply. - Average daily milk production in mother mice - Number of mice per litter for mothers from each population Yes, this would directly estimate a component of fitness in the parental generation. - Average daily milk consumption of offspring - Survival of offspring through the first week of life. Yes, this would be a direct fitness component. Even if this doesn't provide a complete estimate of survival to the time of first reproduction, it would be part of that calculation. - Average body mass of mice in the parental generation No, this might be correlated with maternal survival or number of offspring, but does not measure either trait. The effects on fitness, if any, might be complex.

An E. coli cell entering the D stage of the cell cycle (just prior to partitioning into daughter cells) has 20 copies of a plasmid DNA. Assuming that the plasmids segregate randomly on cell division, what is the probability of the daughter cells having equal numbers of plasmid copies? What is the probability of the distribution being 15:5? Be sure to state any additional assumptions.
