And actually the chance to reproduce a recessive gene is 25% or 1/4 (not
calculating in some genes that only come bound together with other genes).
The point of the experiment to make more trees like this one is to mate it with hundreds of other trees in order to determine if the tree's gene is simply recessive or a genetic mutation. |
Probably because the alteration didn't effect it nutritionally. Only those are tagged. Also, I said depending on the characteristics of the gene, which I was implying, recessive/dominant and other factors. If it was recessive, I don't see it showing up until the F2 generation.
Trust me, I heard of many plants failing to make it to market big, because of it being bio-engineered, like the Flvr Svr tomato.
