1. Indicate for the possible tautomers of the four bases, whether the resulting mismatch mutation would correspond to a a transition or to a transversion, respectively.

2. White flower colour is a recessive trait. Can you explain why? You have a population of Viola elatior, where 16 % of individuals have white flowers. What percentage of the population is heterozygous for this trait? Remark: before you go to solve this problem, refresh your knowledge on the Hardy-Weinberg-Equation.

3. Sketch down the two alternative scenarios for allopolyploidy. Where is the difference?

4. Give three reasons, why plant sexuality was considered for a long time as unlikely.

5. Describe in shorthand the current view on the evolutionary relationship between transposable elements and virusses.
