Can you answer part a-c if its true or false
a) the AP3 and PI show auto- and cross-regulatory interactions, as well as they form obligate heterodimers to carry out the B class gene function. Therefore, if there is no PI expression, AP3 expression alone is not sufficient for establishing the petal and stamen identities.
b) Angiosperm is a group of plants whose seeds are borne within a mature ovary (fruit).
c) The organ in different organisms under every variety of forms and functions due to evolutionary development from the same or a corresponding part in a common ancestor is homologous.

- Would you simply answer the question for me, i saw many answers for it but still not sure. The flower color of genetically identical hemp plants (clones) is purple when the flowers develop under cold environment (30 °C). Describe in detail a molecular mechanism that could explain how these two groups of genetically identical plants differ in their gene expressions to produce different flower colors?arrow_forwardWhat are the for phytoglycogen confirmation properties in maize can that can determine the extracted glycogen in the plants. Present it nicely.arrow_forward. In a certain plant, the flower petals are normally purple.Two recessive mutations arise in separate plants and arefound to be on different chromosomes. Mutation 1 (m1)gives blue petals when homozygous (m1/m1). Mutation2 (m2) gives red petals when homozygous (m2/m2).Biochemists working on the synthesis of flower pigments in this species have already described the following pathway:colorless (white)compoundblue pigmentred pigmentenzyme Aenzyme Ba. Which mutant would you expect to be deficient inenzyme A activity?b. A plant has the genotype M1/m1 ; M2/m2. Whatwould you expect its phenotype to be?c. If the plant in part b is selfed, what colors of progenywould you expect and in what proportions?d. Why are these mutants recessive?arrow_forward
- A -------| B-------> Violet A linear switch-regulation pathway of the type shown here controls flower color in a certain species. The wildtype color is violet, but mutants can be either white or purple. Gene products A and B act in the pathway at the positions and in the manner shown (A is inhibitory, B is intensifying). A and B are the products of genes A and B, respectively. What are the expected phenotypes of: (a) A loss-of-function mutation in A? (b) A gain-of-function mutation in A? (c) A loss-of-function mutation in B? (d) A gain-of-function mutation in B?arrow_forwardYes or no? during in situ hybridization for signal development the beta galactosidase is used.arrow_forwardYou 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 phenotypearrow_forward
- the photos below show flowers from two Arabidopsisplants. The plant on the left is wild-type (unmutated); theother carries a mutation that causes its flowers to havesepals and petals instead of stamens and carpels. Themutation inactivated one of the plant's ABC floral identity genes. Refer to Figure 10.8 and decide which gene(A, B, or C) has been inactivatedarrow_forwardYou conduct an experiment to study the expression of the S protein through the tissues of your favorite plant (Arabidopsis thaliana). The morning of the experiment you inject in the leaves a messenger RNA that codes for the synthesis of a single protein made of two parts that are attached to each other: the functional S protein and a red fluorescent protein tag (RFP). You perform two cross sections of the same root, one section at the start of the experiment (time = Oh; corresponding to the time of injection) and one section in the afternoon (time = 8h). Through fluorescent microscopy you observe a change in the coloration inside the cells of the root's central tissues (as indicated by the arrows): from no coloration (time = Oh) to red (time = 8h). • The cells of the central tissues in the roots do not have nuclei or ribosomes. How can you explain this change of coloration? Please provide a cellular feature that can lead to this. • What is one advantage of using an RFP-tag in an mRNA?…arrow_forwardYou are a developmental geneticist studying flowering time variation in Arabidopsis. You perform a mutagenesis screen to identify mutants in the photoperiod pathway. Given what you know about photoperiodism in Arabidopsis, what phenotype are you looking for and under what photoperiodic conditions would you perform the experiment? delayed flowering in long days delayed flowering in short days same flowering in short days early flowering in short days same flowering in long days early flowering in long daysarrow_forward
- A mutation that breaks which of the following genes would be most likely to produce theanthocyanless phenotype of the green-stem Wisconsin Fast Plants (meaning no purple stems):PAL, CHS, C3H, FLS, or DFR? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardWhat is mutation? Explain the significance of mutation in plant breeding. Give an example of a disease resistant variety of cultivated plant induced by mutation.arrow_forwardMany plants increase in freezing tolerance upon exposure to low nonfreezing temperatures. Rye, for instance, is killed by freezing at about -5°C, but after a period of exposure to low nonfreezing temperature can survive freezing down to about -30°C. When exposed to low temperatures, plants exhibit an increased expression of certain cold-induced genes that function to stabilize cell membranes against freeze-induced injury. The ability of an individual plant to develop freezing tolerance is best described as an example of: Genetic drift OMutation O Allopatric speciation OAdaptation Acclimation Freeze-induced cellular dehydrationarrow_forward
