To see if a hox mutation is the result of the phenotype.
Domestic rose blooms look the way they do because of a gene mutation that causes them to form massive numbers of petals (wild roses have only 5 petals.) S. 'Tarnok' also has flowers that have an increased petal number.

I got a question, is there a sort of dug or chemical to make polyploidy to speed up. Polyploidy make double sets of chromosomes which makes the plants be double or some times 3 sets of chromosomes wich make it grow bigger be healthier and stronger. What is the chemical called to make polypolidy happen a lot and is this alright to use on CP's.
There are numerous chemicals used to induce polyploidy. Probably the most referenced is colchicine, but any chemical that prevents or inhibits the segregation of replicated chromosomes into daughter (divided) cells will work to some extent. I'd agree for most people it would probably be a pain to get your hands on pure powder due to it's toxicity (and I would assume due to its activity carcinogenicity) but you could call up Sigma-Aldrich and ask.
