Practice question
Question
In CLAVATA (clv) mutant of Arabidopsis, Shoot Apical Meristem (SAM) size and expression of WUSCHEL (WUS) is increased. SAM size is reduced in wus mutant plants. Choose the correct statement regarding the function of these two genes:
Explanation
In aptitude and reasoning, quantitative reasoning dictates that ratio, percentage and series logic determine correct calculation. Therefore CLV negatively regulate WUS expression and WUS positively regulate SAM size is correct as it meets mathematical and logical criteria, supported by mechanistic studies and conserved across related systems.
