Question

In pea plants, there is a gene called the pod gene. This gene codes for a protein that limits the number of pea pods the plant can form. Farmers want to grow pea plants that produce more pods, so a scientist develops a chemical that binds to the pod protein and inactivates it. The scientist hypothesizes that exposing plants to the chemical will cause them to produce more pods. Describe a good experiment to test the scientist's hypothesis. Also describe how the scientist should graph the data collected from your experiment. HTML Editor BIVA-A- IEE 3 33 xx, EE - DO N V D T 12pt - Paragra

Answer 1

Answer:Given information suggests that the scientist hypothesizes that a chemical can inhibit the pea pod protein, which will increase the pea pod production for the farmers.

To test his hypothesis, you can grow a number of plants in two rows, one having the exposed chemical and one without.

The number of pea pod per plant should be recorded and noted down, and this should be observed in presence of the chemical for multiple generation of plant growth.
