Genes control inherited traits in organisms. Corn plants can reproduce in laboratory environments. Chromosomes can move around in the nucleus of a cell. Genes are able to disappear and reappear in later generations.
I am hesitating between 4 options to answer the following question, which option should I choose?
Question: n 1931, Barbara McClintock discovered that genes could change position on a chromosome. In corn plants, if a certain gene was moved next to the gene that controls kernel color, the kernels in an ear of corn were various colors. Which statement best supports McClintock's discovery?
Possibilities:
- Genes control inherited traits in organisms.
- Corn plants can reproduce in laboratory environments.
- Chromosomes can move around in the nucleus of a cell.
- Genes are able to disappear and reappear in later generations.
