Your friend examines an ivy vine growing on the side of a campus building and says, “Look – some of the branches on this plant have a different morphology. The leaf shapes and patterning are different, and there are flowers on some branches but not others. There must have been a mutation!” You respond,
A. “I think you’re right. Maybe there was a mutation in the LEAFY (LFY) gene, and the loss of LFY has promoted flowering and had pleiotropic effects on leaf morphology.” B. “No, those branches have just undergone phase change. Now they’re in the adult form, and have become competent to respond to flowering signals.” C. “I think you’re right. Maybe the embryonic flower (emf) gene is being overexpressed, and that’s causing flowers to form.” D. “No, those morphological changes are just evidence that this plant’s environment has changed during its lifetime.” Clarify Question What is the key concept addressed by the question?
