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
You are a developmental geneticist studying flowering time variation in Arabidopsis. You perform a

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 days

- In a species of tree, seed color is determined by four independently assorting genes: A, B, C, and D. The recessive alleles of each of these genes (a, b, C, and d) produce abnormal enzymes that cannot catalyze a reaction in the biosynthetic pathway for seed pigment. This pathway is diagrammed as follows: A White precursor Yellow ----Orange----- Red --- Blue When both red and blue pigments are present, the seeds are purple. Trees with the genotypes Aa Bb Cc Dd and Aa Bb Cc dd were crossed. (a) What color are the seeds in these two parental genotypes? (b) What proportion of the offspring from the cross will have white seeds? (c) Determine the relative proportions of red, white, and blue offspring from the cross.arrow_forwardTrace the genetic steps in the development of a peanut plant that isresistant to insect larvae (table given).

You wish to decide whether this phenomenon is due (1) to a chloroplast mutation of the type considered in this chapter or (2) to a dominant nuclear mutation that inhibits chlorophyll production and is present only in certain tissue layers of the plant as a mosaic. Outline the experimental approach that you would use to resolve this problem.arrow_forward
- You 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_forwardGene Vellow Pigment ,in some plants White By-product ENZYME Rabbits that have the active form of this gene produce white-colored fat.

Based on the diagram below, what would happen if: Carpels and ovules Sepal Petal Stamen 2 4 Whorl A Genes E 25-40 The ABCDE model of floral organ determination in Arabidopsis In addition to the A-, B-, and C-function genes of the ABC model, this model includes two additional gene classes, D and E. In the ABCDE model, class A + E genes specify sepals; class A + B + E, petals; class B +C +E, stamens; class C + E, carpels; and class C+ D + E, ovules. 1. Gene D was non-functional: 2. Gene E was non-functional: 3. Only Gene A was functional: 4. Gene B and E were non-functional: 5. Only Gene A and Gene E were functional: Hint: If Gene A was non-functional the flower would have no sepals or petals, it would be composed of only stamens and carpels.arrow_forwardIf Gus is present in the Arabidopsis Thaliana what is it indicating?
