(A) Describe how genetic information is carried in chloroplasts and mitochondria (1 point). (B) Explain how the inheritance pattern shown in Figure 1 supports a role for chloroplast genes in the production of chlorophyll in the variegated plants (1 point).
(C) Ovules produced by an entirely green plant contain a rare mutation in a nuclear gene that is involved in chlorophyll synthesis, and the gene encodes a nonfunctional protein. Predict the most likely color of the leaves on plants that are produced when these ovules are fertilized by pollen from a wild-type green plant (1 point).
(D) Provide reasoning to justify your prediction (1 point).
