Chapter 3, Problem 40P
Summary Introduction

a.

To determine:

The genotype of the mutant plant.

Introduction:

The mutant plant has abnormal flower morphology. The flower of the mutant plant does not have petals, anthers, or carpels and formed entirely of sepals.

Summary Introduction

b.

To determine:

The expected fraction of normal plants among the F2 in a cross of type AAbbcc×aaBBCC.

Introduction:

For the normal flower morphology, the plant needs only single dominant allele of any one of the three genes.

Summary Introduction

c.

To determine:

The model that describes the way Arabidopsis thaliana genome acquired redundant genes.

Introduction:

The genes that perform the same function are called redundant genes. This type of gene arises from gene duplication.

If using animals in medical experiments could save human lives, is it ethical to do so? In your answer, apply at least one ethical theory in support of your position.
You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other? What results would you expect if they do not repress each other?
You decide to delete Fgf4 and Fgf8 specifically in the limb bud. Explain why you would not knock out these genes in the entire embryo instead.
