11. For a (fictitious) haploid fungus, the starting point in the biosynthesis of the amino acid arginine is Compound X, which is always present in and absorbed from the environment. The arginine biosynthetic pathway is: Enzyme A Enzyme B Enzyme Ç Compound X Compound Y CompoundZ Arginine A mutant strain of genotype a (lacking enzyme A) is crossed to a mutant strain of genotype c (lacking enzyme C). What proportion of the progeny is expected to grow on medium supplemented with Compound Y?

The figure below shows the life cycle of the fungus Neurospora. The adult stage of the Neurospora is a multicellular haploid. b) Neurospora has an arginine amino acid synthesis pathway shown below. Suppose I take the strain above that only grows with arginine supplements and cross it to a different mutant Neurospora strain that grows with arginine and citrulline supplements but not with ornithine supplements. Assuming gens A, B, and C are unlinked and there is only one mutation per stain: What percentage of the progeny will grow on ornithine? What percentage on citrulline? What percentage on arginine?

When Paramecium conjugate: a. cytoplasmic division produces four daughter cells, eachhaving two micronuclei and two macronuclei. b. one haploid micronucleus in each cell remains intact; theother three degenerate. The micronucleus of each cell divides once, producing two nuclei, and each cell exchanges one nucleus with the other cell. In each partner the two micronuclei fuse, forming a diploid zygote micronucleus in each cell. c. the micronucleus of each of the disengaged partners divides meiotically. Macronuclei divide again in each cell, and the original micronucleus breaks down. Each cell has two haploid micronuclei; one of the macronuclei develops into a micronucleus. d. the mating cells join together at opposite sites of their oral depression. e. the micronucleus in each cell undergoes mitosis. When mitosis is complete, there are four diploid macronuclei; the micronucleus then breaks down.
An apple grower notices that several of his apple trees with fungi growing on their trunks have developed necrotic ring spots, while other trees in the orchard that lack fungi appear healthy. What is the most likely conclusion the farmer can make about the virus infecting his apple trees?

In an HfrF- conjugation, DNA of the main chromosomemoves to a recipient cell. e. Genes on the F factor encode proteins of the sex pilus.
