Post by: ibkajayi4 on Jan 4, 2022 Suppose that a homeotic gene from Drosophila is introduced into an Arabidopsis embryo that has a pre-existing mutation in one of its homeotic flower genes. What effect would you expect and why?
▸ rescue (or negating) of the phenotype of the mutant because the fly Hox gene supplies the missing protein ▸ correction of the sequence in the mutant by recombination with the Drosophila gene sequence ▸ expression of the Drosophila homeotic gene correcting the mRNA of the mutant plant ▸ a mixture of roughly equal numbers of Drosophila and plant gene product, producing an intermediate phenotype ▸ no effect, because Hox genes are different from MADS box genes Title: Suppose that a homeotic gene fromDrosophilais introduced into anArabidopsisembryo that has a ...
