Title: Knocking out Genes and filling in the chart! Post by: nerdy4u on Apr 22, 2015 Table I: Record the results of using knockout strains of the plant Arabidopsis to determine gene function.
Plant Optimum Growth Conditions UV Exposure High Salinity in Soil Drought Conditions Wild-type Mutant 1 Questions: 1. The knockout mutants of Arabidopsis used in this exercise each have _____. 2. When making your experimental observations in this exercise, you are observing which structures? 3. High salinity and drought conditions may both cause Arabidopsis plants to become _____. 4. In your experiments, you expect to see normal growth in both the wild-type and mutant plants under which condition? 5. In your experiments, you can determine the role of the knockout gene by seeing which condition produces wild-type and mutant plants with _____. Title: Re: Knocking out Genes and filling in the chart! Post by: bio_man on Apr 22, 2015 4. In your experiments, you expect to see normal growth in both the wild-type and mutant plants under which condition? High salinity in soil. 5. In your experiments, you can determine the role of the knockout gene by seeing which condition produces wild-type and mutant plants with _____. With the same phenotype. 3. High salinity and drought conditions may both cause Arabidopsis plants to become _____. Dehydrated & Malnourished due to lack of nutrients. 2. When making your experimental observations in this exercise, you are observing which structures? Cauline leaves 1. The knockout mutants of Arabidopsis used in this exercise each have _____. Have one gene missing and one protein added. Title: Re: Knocking out Genes and filling in the chart! Post by: nerdy4u on Apr 22, 2015 Do you know how to fill in the chart? I answered rosette leaves for #2, Optimum for #4, and #5 diff phenotypes...
Title: Re: Knocking out Genes and filling in the chart! Post by: bio_man on Apr 23, 2015 To be honest, nerdy4u, I obtained these answers from a secondary source, so I am not entirely sure if they are correct. I was hoping you'd be knowledge enough to decipher if they fit with your studies.
