Gardening in Depth
A friend of yours gardens for a hobby. She has noticed that she has a plant that no longer produces the same color of flower it did a few years ago. It used to produce red flowers; now, the flowers are white. Consider that petal color in plants is due to at least one enzyme that produces the color pigment. No color suggests no enzyme activity. Using what you know about genes, protein synthesis, and mutations, hypothesize what may have happened to cause the change in flower color. Identify several possibilities; then, identify what you would need to know to test your hypothesis.
