The Task
We will be provided with 30 Barley and 15 Pea seeds, some of which have mutations causing defective chlorophyll. We need to investigate the effect of the mutation on the plants and then determine the type of inheritance pattern shown in each case.
The seeds need to be germinated and then grown for a length of time sufficient to determine and measure the effect of the mutations on the plant phenotypes. By measuring various characteristics of the growth rates of the germinated seeds, as well as performing experiments to determine the relative amounts of chlorophyll present, we should be able to scientifically describe the effects of the different mutations. Using the total number of the different phenotypes from our class results, we need to determine the type of inheritance pattern that the mutations show.
