As with all multicellular organisms, homeotic genes in plants control morphogenesis (how the tissues and organs of the plant are arranged). in maize plants, the homeotic gene knotted1 (abbreviated kn1) maintain the indeterminate state of shoot apical meristems. in wild-type maize plants, kn1 is expressed at high levels in the shoot apical meristem, but is expressed at low levels in leaves. in some mutant maize plants, kn1 is expressed at high levels in leaves. in those plants, outgrowths or knots of adventitious shoot meristems (shoot meristems that appear in abnormal locations on the leaves) form. use this information to determine which of the following statements are true. select the four statements that are true. a. expression of the kn1 gene in shoot apical meristem cells produces a protein involved in the maintenance of shoot apical meristems. b. in wild-type maize plants, the kn1 gene is mostly expressed in shoot apical meristem cells. c. in mutant maize leaves, the kn1 gene is mostly not expressed. d. leaves of the mutant maize plants produce more kn1 protein than leaves of wild-type maize plants. e. both the wild-type and mutant maize leaves have the same morphology. f. in wild-type maize plants, the kn1 gene is present in shoot apical meristem cells, but not in leaf cells. g. in wild-type maize plants, the kn1 gene is expressed diferentially in shoot apical meristem cels and leaf cells.

Bisphenol a (often called bpa) is a chemical found in products that people use every day, from water bottles to food containers to children's toys. unfortunately, bpa leaches out of its many products and makes its way into our bodies. what are the health effects of bpa exposure? ongoing research is finding that elevated exposure to bpa can affect a wide variety of developmental and physiological processes, but one of the first studies of bpa's health effects came about because of a simple mistake in the lab. at a laboratory at case western reserve university in 1998, geneticist patricia hunt was making a routine check of her female lab mice. as she extracted and examined developing eggs from the ovaries, she began to wonder what had gone wrong. she noticed that many of the eggs showed problems with their chromosomes, and some had irregular amounts of genetic material, which can lead to miscarriages and birth defects in mammals. she learned that a lab assistant had mistakenly washed the plastic mouse cages and water bottles with a harsh soap, releasing bpa from the plastic. knowing that bpa is an endocrine disruptor, a chemical that can enter organisms and mimic hormones, hunt set out to discover whether it had adversely affected her mice.
