A. Strain A , C and E have same mutation because all the offsprings are mutated and that too with same mutation.
B. To identify the number of genes perform a complementation test i.e cross every individual with each other and then analyze the results.
3. (2pts) A group of researchers working with Arabidopsis (a small weedy plant that is widely...
Arabidopsis thaliana, a plant, has small leaf projections called trichomes. A search for mutants revealed two mutant strains, A and B, both of which lack trichomes. Strain A plant was propagated until it was completely true-breeding and then crossed to a true-breeding wild-type plant. The F1 was all wild-type. The F2 results are below. The plant geneticist was unable to form a true-breeding plant from strain B plant. When a strain B mutant was crossed to wild-type, the F1 data...
