You have been treating your plants with water from Putah Creek, and you notice there are several plants with mutant flowers. The mutant plants have the following floral organs. For each of the mutant flowers: (i) describe the ABC functions operating in whorls 1 through 4 that explains the observed mutant phenotypes (e.g., a wild-type flower is 1-A, 2-A+B, 3-B+C, 4- C), (ii) propose a mutation or combination of mutations in specific genes that would generate the observed floral phenotype, and (iii) state whether the mutant flower is determinate or indeterminate. 1) Mutant Flower 8.1 2) Mutant Flower 8.2 3) Mutant Flower 8.3.
