Genetic analysis begins with mutants
These photographs show the range of mutant phenotypes typical of those obtained in the genetic dissection of biological properties. These cases are from the dissection of floral development in Arabidopsis thaiiana (a) and hyphal growth in Neurospora crassa, a mold (b). WT = wild type.
