If the Expression of the PHAN Gene is Blocked in Plants

Question

If the expression of the PHAN gene is blocked in plants, what will be the likely result?
A) Plants will develop leaves in inappropriate places.
B) Plants will develop more leaves than usual.
C) Plants will fail to develop leaves.
D) Plant leaves will fall off prematurely.
E) Plants will develop leaves in very simple shapes.

Accepted Answer

Blocking the expression of the PHAN gene in plants typically results in the development of leaves with simpler shapes, as PHAN is involved in the regulation of leaf complexity and morphology.
