Ovules produced by an entirely green plant contain a rare mutation in a nuclear gene that is involved in chlorophyll synthesis, and the gene encodes a nonfunctional protein. Predict the most likely color of the leaves on plants that are produced when these ovules are fertilized by pollen from a wild-type green plant. Provide reasoning to justify your prediction

Answer:

The plant will produce less chlorophyll

Explanation:

The plant still has a functional allele provided by the paternal gamete, thereby the leaves have this enzyme required for chlorophyll biosynthesis. In consequence, the plant can produce chlorophyll pigment but in less quantity, since it has only a functional allele coding for a key enzyme involved in the chlorophyll pathway  

The flowering plant is called angiosperm, the ovules are converted to the seed after the fertilization. The flowering plant has the following type of reproductive organ:-

  • Male sex organ - Stamen
  • Female sex organ - Pistal

In a living organism, the character is controlled by the genes and their expression. These qualities of genes are directly proportional to the character of the plant.

The color of the ovule is green is due to the presence of chloroplast. The genes is responsible for the green color of the plant and the color of an ovule.

Hence, the genes are responsible for the production of the green color in the plants and the chloroplast.
