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 _____.

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 _____.
