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?
Streptomycin resistance in Chlamydomonas may result from a mutation in either a chloroplast gene or a nuclear gene. What phenotypic results would occur in a cross between a member of an mt+ strain resistant in both genes and a member of a strain sensitive to the antibiotic? What results would occur in the reciprocal cross?
A shuttle vector is a vector constructed so that it can propagate in two different host species.
One of the most common types of shuttle vectors is the yeast shuttle vector.

- Schizosaccharomyces pombe, also known as "fission yeast," is a powerful model organism in molecular and cell biology. While performing a genetic screen, you discover an auxotrophic S. pombe strain that is unable to synthesize one or more vitamins. The following table represents the key experiments you performed during your genetic screen. Fill in the table with the outcome of each experiment for your mutant strain (using + for growth and - for no growth).

Each mutant contains a recessive allele in a single gene. Three compounds (A, B and C) in the biosynthetic pathway to W are known, but their order in the pathway is unknown. Each compound is tested for its ability to support the growth of each of the three mutants. Phenotypes of all of the three mutants are shown in the following table (“+" indicates growth, "-" indicates no growth).

This outcomeis always true regardless of whether the offspring themselves are bcd+/bcd or bcd/bcd. Some other maternaleffect lethal mutations are different, in that the mutantphenotype can be “rescued” by introducing a wild-typeallele of the gene from the father. In other words, forsuch rescuable maternal-effect lethals, mut+/mut animals are normal, whereas mut/mut animals have the mutant defect. Explain the difference between rescuableand nonrescuable maternal-effect lethal mutations.arrow_forward
