In Iowa, a company called Team Corn works to ensure that fields of seed corn outcross so that hybrid vigor can be maintained. They do this by removing the staminate (that is, pollen-producing) flowers from the corn plants. In an attempt to put Team Corn out of business, you would like to develop genetically engineered corn plants that
a. contain Z genes to prevent germination of pollen on the stigmatic surface.
b. contain S genes to stop pollen tube growth during selffertilization.
c. express B-type homeotic genes throughout developing flowers.
d. express A-type homeotic genes throughout developing flowers.

- A plant breeder found a species of flowering plant with very attractive flowers growing wild in a field and she thought it would appeal to her customers. Some of the plants of this species had red flowers, some white flowers, and some pink flowers. While she would like to be able to offer her customers all three colors of flowers, she only has permission from the landowner to dig up one plant to bring back to the nursery as breeding stock. What would be the best thing for her to do? Top of Form Take a white flowering plant since the white allele could be masking the pink allelle. Take a pink flowering plant since it is likely to carry both the red and white alleles. Take a red flowering plant since it could produce all three colors eventually. Take a red flowering plant since the red allele is likely the dominant one.arrow_forwardHibiscus plants have different varieties of flowers. In an instance, both the red and white flowers showed that they are incompletely dominant with each other. What will happen if these two varieties are bred? Explain. A) the flowers will have a pink color B) the flowers will grow more petals C) the flowers will have red and white patches D) the flowers will have a red colorarrow_forwardFigure 4 shows the hybridization process between plant P and Q. b) What is process A?arrow_forward
