Ch.16 Genes and the Genetic Basis of Metabolism & Development, Cross…

Cross-Link Connection: Using a gene from fireflies, once inserted into a plant cell the cell was induced to grow a full plant. This gene apparently had a promoter that is normally activated in every cell, we know this because all the cells are glowing. Using genetic engineering and connecting different promoters we can study when and where each promoter is usually active.
Cross-Link Connection: Because all body cells are produced by mitosis they all have the same genes. Certain metabolism genes are active in all cells but don't become active until differentiation
Cross-Link Connections: Because of the use of glyphosphate as a pesticide plants have created a resistance. A small number of plants have started transporting glyphosphate through their leaf tips which leaves them unharmed. Because of the evolution these plants will be more adapted to their environment and out live the susceptible plants.
