PLEASE HELP !! DESPERATE

A plant seed is exposed to a chemical mutagen The rubryo undergoes subuequent mutation that renders its gene for mitochondrial ATP synthase nonfunctional. If the seed is planted in soil, which of the following is the most likely effect of this mutation on the developing embryo?
A The plant will germinate and grow normally, because the mutation has no negative effect, since the plant can meet its energy needs by carrying out photosynthesis
B. The plant will germinate but not grow because it will not be able to extract the energy it needs from glucose made by photosynthesis in emerging leaves
C. The plant will not germinate, because its cells will not be able to extract the energy it needs from glucose present in stored Search granules
D. The plant will germinate and grow as a sickly plant, because it will use chloroplast ATP synthase in place of the nonfunctional mitochondrial ATP synthase,

Answer 1

It is still a subject of discussion whether early attempts at ... The first experiments with plant breeding were most likely limited to ... All three chemical mutagens are, as can be expected, strongly ... As in conventional mutagenesis, TILLING seeds are exposed to a strong ..... Genetic effects of X-Rays in Maize.
