2. (15pts) In barley, a self-fertilizing species that can be cross-fertilized,
two true-breeding strains with virescent leaves occur. In strain A, the trait
is caused by a cytoplasmic gene while in strain B, it is by a recessive
chromosomal gene. What phenotypes would you expect among the
progeny, and in what proportions in reciprocal crosses between A and B?
BONUS: (5pts) You want to introduce the human insulin gene into a bacterial host in hopes of
producing

reasoning.
