Summary Introduction

To explain:

The process and reasons for the scientists to develop the weedy rice expressing the “booster” gene.

Concept introduction:

Pesticides are defined as the substances or mixtures of substances that are used to kill, destroy or prevent ant grow of the pesticides on the plants. These are the chemical compounds that are used in the agriculture to fight against the diseases and to destroy the weeds present.

Researchers can introduce loss-of-function mutations into genesusing the CRISPR/Cas9 technology . Ifyou used this technology to produce the following homozygous loss-of-function mutations in a winter-annual strain of Arabidopsis, describe how each mutation would affect flowering and the requirement for vernalization.A. FLCB. VIN3C. COLDAIR
What would be the most likely effect on fruit-fly development of a deletion in the nanos gene?
Three haploid fungal mutants that require compound W for growth were isolated. Each mutant contains a recessive allele in a single gene. Three compounds (A, B and C) in the biosynthetic pathway to W are known, but their order in the pathway is unknown. Each compound is tested for its ability to support the growth of each of the three mutants. Phenotypes of all of the three mutants are shown in the following table (“+" indicates growth, "-" indicates no growth). A C W Mutant 1 Mutant 2 Mutant 3 What would be the phenotype of a haploid mutant that contains both mutant alleles in mutant 2 and 3? Phenotype refers to growth or absence of growth on compounds A, B, C and WN. O Like mutant 1 O Like mutant 2 Like mutant 3 O Like wild type
