In Maize, spotted kernels are made up of pigmented and colorless cells, the colorless cells in a spotted kernel can result from [choose ALL that apply, note that incorrect selections will deduct points]:

O The absence of Ac in the genome and the absence of Ds in the C gene in the colorless cells.

O The absence of Ac in the genome and the presence of Ds in the C gene in the colorless cells.

O The presence of Ac in the genome and the absence of Ds in the C gene in the colorless cells.

O The presence of Ac in the genome and the presence of Ds in the C gene in the colorless cells.

O The presence of Ac in the C gene in the colorless cells.

O The absence of Ac and Ds in the genome and a wildtype C gene.

Respuesta :

Answer: the correct statements are;

-The presence of Ac in the genome and the presence of Ds in the C gene in the colorless cells.

-The presence of Ac in the C gene in the colorless cells.

Explanation: Ds moved from a site near the centromere into the C gene located close to the telomeric ends

In its new location, Ds prevents the expression of C (pigment) gene

The inactivation of C gene explains colorless parts of the kernel .
