Question

A tomato gene, known as the SIKLUH gene, has recently been discovered. The gene leads to the production of larger tomatoes. The gene affects fruit size by increasing cell layers and promoting extra cell divisions. In order to produce large fruit in other commercial plant species, scientists might

a. clone the genes of other types of plants until they develop larger fruits
b. breed the tomatoes with other fruits such as apples
c. insert the gene into other types of plants
d. stimulate the process of meiosis in the other plants

Answer 1

C.) insert the gene into other types of plants

Answer 2

Answer:

A tomato gene, known as the SIKLUH gene, has recently been discovered. The gene leads to the production of larger tomatoes. The gene affects fruit size by increasing cell layers and promoting extra cell divisions. In order to produce large fruit in other commercial plant species, scientists might

clone the genes of other types of plants until they develop larger fruits

Explanation:

Since the gene helps tomatoe to grow bigger, it is expedient of scientists to clone the genes of other types of plants until they develop larger fruits
