The gene gun propels bacteria into plant cells that then insert DNA into the plant's nucleusarrow_forwardThe figure below shows the life cycle of the fungus Neurospora. The adult stage of the Neurospora is a multicellular haploid: a. Between which two stages of the Neurospora life cycle do most mitotic cell divisions occur? b. Neurospora has an arginine amino acid synthesis pathway shown below: Suppose I have a neurospora strain that has a mutation such that it will not grow unless I supplement the media (food) with arginine (but not with citrulline or ornithine). What gene is mutated? Explain your reasoning. c. Suppose I take the strain above that only grows with arginine supplements and cross it to a different mutant Neurospora strain that grows with arginine and citrulline supplements but not ornithine supplements.

- A botanist wanted to see if a new strain of corn could germinate in soil that was too salty for regular corn. She conducted a study on the germination success of seeds from the new strain that were exposed to various levels of salty soil, from zero to normal (100mg/L) to high (200mg/L) to very high (400mg/L) to normally lethal (800mg/L). a.) Write a formal hypothesis for this study b.) Does her data support or reject the hypothesis? Explainarrow_forwardName the types of mutations that may occur and describe how some of them happen. With regard to UV-induced mutations, think about the fact that most leaves last for just a few months and then are replaced by new leaves the next spring. The next time you are getting a suntan, remember that your dermis must last as long as you live.arrow_forwardThe figure below shows the life cycle of the fungus Neurospora.
