You are studying a disease caused when the gene called BMP5 is not transcribed in osteoblasts. All other genes are transcribed normally. To investigate why BMP5 is not transcribed, you create a reporter transgene by putting GFP under the control of theBMP5 enhancer found indiseased osteoblasts.You put this reporter transgene into a normal, healthy osteoblast.
If the healthy osteoblast with your GFP-reporter transgene DOES turn green (GFP is expressed), what is one possiblegenetic reason that BMP5 is not being expressed in people with this disease? Explain your answer
