2) (10 point question) Many people love colorful and tasty tomatoes and an ambitious student in horticulture wants to breed such a tomato variety. He searched all the available tomato genetic resources, and found the two inbred lines he needed. One line produces the tomatoes with a colorful red-green-yellow mosaic pattern (rrTT), and the other strain is 'very tasty' (RRtt).

When the student crossed the two strains together, he made the following observations:

In the F1 generation, all the ripe tomatoes have a regular red color and a regular flavor. The student tasted tomatoes from over 40 individual plants, and was sick with regular tasting tomatoes.

In the F2 progeny, the student sampled 1000 tomato plants: 498 had red-color tomatoes with normal taste, 248 colorful tomatoes with normal taste, and 254 red-color tomatoes with great taste. He was disappointed not to find any colorful tomatoes with great taste. He then sampled another 2000 F2 plants: 998 had red-color tomatoes with normal taste, 511 colorful tomatoes with normal taste, 488 red-color tomatoes with great taste, and 3 colorful tomatoes with great taste; he was so happy to find what he wanted!!!

Based on these experimental results, he realized that the alleles he needs are recessive and the two genes are linked.

A) (4 points) How closely linked are the r and t genes? Please explain your strategy to calculate the distance.

B) (2 points) A testcross with the F1 can be used to further define the genetic distance between the two genes. Indicate the ratio of progeny phenotypes that you'd expect (describe phenotypes) from this cross based on the map distance you propose for part a).

C) (2 points) The tomato genome has now been sequenced and genes on the chromosome are in the following order OPQRSTU. The respective physical distances on the chromosome between these seven genes are very similar. But we now know that there is a 'cold spot' between genes RT and 'hot spots' between PQ and TU. Draw a representation of the genetic map relative to the physical map (both maps are needed here) for this part of the tomato genome. Show the relative (approximate) locations of the genes on the two maps.

D) (2 points) What can you predict about the chromosome chromatin structure between the R and T genes?

Requirement:

Create your own e-commerce business in Saudi Arabia (website or mobile application), you need to explain the process that you will follow in building your e-commerce presence.

Before you begin to build a website or app of your own, there are some important questions you will need to think about and answer. The answers to these questions will drive the development and implementation of your e-commerce presence.

Set up Your E-Commerce Presence

• What is the idea? (the visioning process)

• Introduce your e-commerce business.
  • Provide an overview of your business idea
• Product and type of services.
  • What are the different types of products? Explain
  • What kinds of services are provided by your online store? [ customer service, exchange and return, delivery and payment options] Explain
• Business statement.
• Business vision.
• Business objective.

• Where’s the money:
  • What is the company’s business model?
  • Give a general idea of how your business will generate revenues

• Who and where is the target audience? Explain demographics, lifestyle, consumption patterns, etc.
• What is the ballpark? Characterize the marketplace. - Size, growth, demographics, structure.
• Where’s the content coming from?
• Know yourself— conduct a SWOT analysis for your business.
• Develop an e-commerce presence map.
• Develop a timeline: Milestones. - 6 phases.
• How much will this cost?

Building an E-Commerce Site: A Systematic Approach

• Planning: The Systems Development Life Cycle

• Systems analysis/planning

• Business objectives. What are the capabilities you want your site to have?
• System functionalities (Shopping cart, payment system …. etc.)
• Information requirements (Dynamic text and graphics catalog … etc.)

• Systems design

• (Logical and Physical)
• How it will look likes in terms of design and format

• Building the system (a simple website layout)

• Create your own website using wix.com www.wix.com
• Or you can design the layout using any free e-commerce website template.
• Include 2-4 screenshots of your site

• Testing (What type of testing will be applied?)
• Implementation

Choosing Software

The development of e-commerce required a great deal more interactive functionality, such as the ability to respond to user input (name and address forms), take customer orders for goods and services, clear credit card transactions on the fly, consult price and product databases, and even adjust advertising on the screen based on user characteristics.

• • Functionality for web server
  • Provides basic functionality for sales
• Online catalogue
• Shopping cart
• Credit card processing

Explain the different software you need for your site functionality.

Choosing Hardware

• Underlying computing equipment needed for e-commerce functionality

• Explain the different hardware needed for your site or app.

Payment and Security

• What are the methods of payment you are going to use in your online store and why?
• What are the commonly used technologies to secure your online transactions?

1.The space probe Voyager 2 flew past Neptune in 1989 at a speed of 38,000 miles/hr. Then, fuel almost entirely depleted, it headed out of the Solar System towards the emptiness of interstellar space (no gravity or friction). It is still trillions of miles away from the nearest star. Will Voyager 2 ever stop, and in any case, what will happen to it in, let's say, the next few weeks? Explain.

True

False

3.A rose looks red because the rose:

(A)is transparent to red light only

(B)reflects red light only
