Experiment Three:

Predict the Specific Result

If you predicted that the two mutant strains grown together would produce light, that was good thinking. Can you predict which of the following bioluminescence patterns is observed in the experiment?

A divided dish with the sides marked A and B. The cells on side A are bioluminescent; side B is not.
Culture plate option 1
A divided dish with the sides marked A and B. The cells on side A are not bioluminescent; side B is.
Culture plate option 2
A divided dish with the sides marked A and B. The cells on both sides are bioluminescent.
Culture plate option 3
