In Clever Experiments, Expression of the Human L-Opsin Gene Was

Essay

In clever experiments, expression of the human L-opsin gene was shown to be sufficient to improve spectral discrimination in both female mice and male squirrel monkeys.
A. Would male mice with the knocked-in human L-opsin gene be expected to perform spectral discrimination tasks as well as their heterozygous female siblings? Briefly explain your reasoning.
B. Would male squirrel monkeys with virally transduced human L-opsin be expected to perform spectral discrimination tasks as well as their heterozygous female siblings? Briefly explain your reasoning.
