You would like to isolate a mutant fern capable ofgrowing in the presence of cadmium, which is toxic to wild typeferns. What specific part of a fern plant would you treat with amutagen called EMS in order to be able to identify mutant fernswithin the same generation? Explain your strategy, which should beable to identify mutations right away (even if the mutation isrecessive). Hint: Look at the life cycle of the fern
So in this question along with answering it, please drawpunnet squares explaining the process going from sporangia tospores to gametophyte to sporophyte, when cadmium is treated andwhat happens when % die and % live, does that mean its recessive ordominant?
