Question

You are a developmental geneticist studying flowering time variation in Arabidopsis. You perform a
mutagenesis screen to identify mutants in the photoperiod pathway. You conduct the screen and
find two different plants that show the same mutant phenotype. You then use a complementation
test. What is the predicted outcome of this test if both phenotypes are caused by mutations in
separate genes?
recover the wild type phenotype
overexpress the gene
O recover the mutant phenotype

Expert Solution

Step 1

Introduction:- Flowering time in Arabidopsis is decided by many variable factors like - intensity of light, quality and type of light and expression of cry2 genes. The flowering plants requires different amounts and intensity of light for the flowering. There are also different genes responsible for determining the flowering time in plants.
