What will the effect of this mutation be on either (pick one) a) chloroplast […]

In a yeast plasmid shuffle, you use three different selectable markers in your strain at the time you are screening for the conditional alleles of interest. The first marker is in the chromosome, the second marker is on the plasmid that carries the wild type copy of the gene of […]

A geneticist makes a cross between two homozygous strains (lines) of maize with three different mutations. The specific genes are as follows. F = striped leaf, B = a bronze aleurone and K = crinkled leaf. For symbols, you can use a capital to indicate the dominant (WT) allele. He then backcrosses the […]
