Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Transgenic plants are genetically modified plants that are created by recombinant technologies. The plants produced by using such techniques with new characteristics are called genetically modified plants. The new trait which is formed is not naturally present in the plant.

A. What is the wild progenitor of maize and where is it found?
B. George Beadle concluded that this plant was the likely ancestor of maize (corn) even though the two plants appear very different. What evidence did Dr. Beadle collect that led to his conclusion?
C. How long ago was maize domesticated and what evidence was utilized to determine this?
D. Dr. Doebley and his team compared the DNA sequence of maize to that of a number of teosinte varieties from throughout Mexico. What did their analysis reveal?
A. What traits are controlled by the branching gene and fruitcase gene? And how were they determined to be major players in the development of maize?
B. Teosinte looks like a terrible plant to begin to domesticate for agricultural purposes. What hypothesis is put forth to explain farmers’ early interest in the plant?
C. Often successful domestication of a plant or animal is due to the fact that this involved just a few gene changes. In what situation can changes in just a few genes dramatically change an organism's entire appearance?

Both types would flower at the proper time.c. The summer type would flower, but the winter type wouldnot.d. The winter type would flower, but the summer type wouldnot.

The seed coat is an adaptation that protects the plant embryo from damage, water loss, and infection. II. Evolution has come up with a clever solution for protecting plant embryos: seed coats that prevent damage, water loss, and infection. Do these statements accurately represent the evolution of seeds? a) Yes, both statements are accurate. b) No, neither statement is accurate. c) Only the first statement is accurate.arrow_forwardClausen and colleagues proposed two hypotheses to explain this variation within a species: (1) There are genetic differences between populations of plants found at different elevations.
