Consider two maize plants:a. Genotype C/cm ; Ac/Ac+, where cm is an unstableallele caused by a Ds insertionb. Genotype C/cm, where cm is an unstable allele causedby Ac insertionWhat phenotypes would be produced and in whatproportions when (1) each plant is crossed with a basepair-substitution mutant c/c and (2) the plant in part a iscrossed with the plant in part b? Assume that Ac and care unlinked, that the chromosome-breakage frequencyis negligible, and that mutant c /C is Ac+.

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
