Question

Question 3 1 pts 3.(1pts) Ac is an autonomous transposable element found in plants and Ds is a non-autonomous transposable element in the same family. A somatic mutation caused by a transposition occurred in the petal of a plant resulting in no protein product made from the pigment gene PRPL. If this plant had _in the genome this mutation could have resulted from To earn full credit you must correctly select ALL that are possible, note that incorrect selections will deduct points. O the Ds element present but no Ac element; the Ds element transposing into the PRPL gene O the Ac element present but no Ds element; the Ac element transposing into the PRPL gene O the Ac and Ds element both present; the Ds element transposing into the PRPL gene the Ac and Ds element both present : the Ac element transposing into the PRPL gene

Answer 1

the answer is option C, the AC and DS element both present ; the DS element transposing into the PRPL gene.

In the presence of AC elements the expression of DS element flanking gene is inhibited. AC element is required for the function of DS element to transpose.
