Identify a bean plant heterozygous for a 1-bp insertion

Reference no: EM133288411

Assignment:

1. You identify a bean plant heterozygous for a 1-bp insertion in the first exon of primase gene. After considerable effort making crosses, however, you are unable to generate an individual homozygous for the mutation. Why?

2. You sequence multiple addition individuals, and find most are lacking the 1-bp insertion in exon 1. You also find several plants that have a synonymous C to T mutation in exon 2. How many alleles have you identified at the primase locus?
