The wild mustard Arabidopsis thaliana is used as a model organism in genetic studies of plants. Which statements explain why Arabidopsis is an excellent model organism? Arabidopsis is able to self-fertilize and cross-fertilize. Arabidopsis produces a few large seeds in each generation. Arabidopsis has a large polyploid genome.

Table 4. Arabidopsis Mutant Identification Pot # Gene Mutated (A, B, or C) IwN When viewing the mutant Arabidopsis plants, how did you determine that a pot contained an Arabidopsis plant with a B gene mutation? Considering that some of these mutants are sterile, why did some pots have wildtype plants growing alongside the mutants in the same pot?

Which of the following are true statements about Arabidopsis? Arabidopsis is easy to grow in a lab. It has long generation times. It is possible to create plants that carry genes not normally found in Arabidopsis. It is a model organism.

Question: Several botanists are studying the effect of high temperature on chloroplast function in Arabidopsis thaliana, a species of flowering plant. The botanists find that extremely high temperatures damage the membrane of the chloroplasts. This causes the contents of the chloroplasts to leak into the cytosol, which makes them nonfunctional.

The diploid number of chromosomes in the mustard plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, is 10. Knowing this, answer the following questions about the stages of mitosis. How many chromosomes will be found in each cell during prophase?

A population of 1, 0 0 0, 0 0 0 Arabidopsis thaliana plants is initially at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the A gene, where two alleles, Al and A 2 , are present at equal frequencies. The population undergoes 2 generations of 1 0 0 % selffertilization.
