Next, you divide a petri dish in half as in the previous

Next, you divide a petri dish in half as in the previous experiments. On one half of the dish (Side A), you plate normal bacteria with no mutations. On the other half (Side B) you plate a mutant strain lacking a functional receptor gene, but normal in every other way. Assuming both halves of the dish are allowed to multiply until high cell density is reached, on which side(s) of the dish would you expect to see bioluminescence? Explain.
