how does the absence of a functional gene product (RML protein) in the rml mutant affect cell division. consider whether the gene product that is mutated is an integral component of the division cycle operating throughout the whole plant, or regulates a specific division cycle event. Discuss whether or not this affect is restricted to the root meristem
