嵌入式定语从句

这句句子里面有嵌入式定语从句：

The new result provides a "very accurate list" of genes that Kosmichi and his colleagues are confident play a role in the disorder.

那么这句话是否也是呢？ this is the seed that i do not know how tall will grow. 但是第二句为什么是错的？

1. The new result provides a "very accurate list" of genes that Kosmichi and his colleagues are confident play a role in the disorder.

是的。红色部分为“嵌入式定语从句”，去掉后，句子仍然成立。

The new result provides a "very accurate list" of genes that play a role in the disorder.

2. This is the seed that I do not know how tall will grow. （误）

I do not know 可以充当“嵌入式定语从句”，但是，其宾语从句只能是陈述句，不能是疑问句。这就是错误所在。如果改为陈述句，就可以：

This is the seed that I don't know will take root.

This is the seed that I do not know how tall will grow.

这个句子结构错误。具体可参读夸克《大全》17.63

改正的句子结构应为：

This is the seed that will grow I don't know how tall.
