Practice question
Question
The following table summarizes the flowering time behavior ( days to flower ) and the transcript levels in four genotypes of a plant species. Which one of the following genetic pathways best explains the observations shown in the table?
Explanation
In genetics, Mendelian segregation dictates that allele distribution and recombination generate phenotypic variation. Therefore A gene suppresses B, which promotes flowering transition is correct as it follows segregation and linkage principles, supported by mechanistic studies and conserved across related systems.
