Problem:
You decided to investigate the role of c function genes during flower development in the flowers of Mimulus, which is a relative of Antirrhinum. The Mimulusgenome has been sequenced and you have identified at least two c function genes that appear closely related to AGAMOUS.
Required:
Question 1: How would you find out where and when these genes are expressed?
Question 2: How would you determine which of these genes is most closely related to
AGAMOUS?
Question 3: Describe an experiment to determine which of these genes has retained the primary homeotic function.
