The ability of a population of fibroblasts to migrate along the surface of a tissue culture dish depends on adhesion between the cell surface and the extracellular matrix molecules coating the dish. The dish is coated with laminin, and the only cell-surface protein capable of binding laminin is a cell-adhesion protein called an integrin. Integrins are integral plasma-membrane proteins that function as heterodimers. Under these conditions the rate at which a fibroblast can migrate along the laminin coated culture dish is proportional to the strength of adhesion between the cell and the laminin substrate. The table below lists the rate of cell migration observed for fibroblasts genetically engineered to generate the indicated phenotypes. One explanation for the effect of overexpression of the cytoplasmic domain of the integrin beta subunit is that this domain normally functions to bind a cytoplasmic factor necessary for integrin function. Which of the following would be the most informative experiment to identify the cytoplasmic factor?

Mendel crossed tall pea plants with dwarf ones. The F1 plants were all tall. When these F1 plants were selfed to produce F2 generation, he got a 3: 1 tall to dwarf ratio in the offspring. What is the probability that out of three plants (of F2 generation) picked up at random all three would be dwarf?
