Summary Introduction
To review:
The setup of experiments on the mutant strains of Neurospora to determine the order of biochemical pathway.
Introduction:
Neurospora is a red-bread mold belonging to the phylum Ascomycota. It has ability to manufacture its own amino acids in a minimal media. The reason for its use in the laboratory experiments is due to its easy and economical multiplication with least requirements. It has a haplontic life cycle with a short diploid stage and produces multiple progenies at once.

Given that these bacterial genes are regulated together, propose a hypothesis for how the genes are organized and regulated. Match the terms in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. Terms can be used once, more than once, or not at all. Terms: metaboliozed, density, quorum sensing, state, signal amplification, inhibit, activate, detected, secrete, transcrption initiation complex, consume, operon Bacterial cells blank molecules that can be blank by other bacterial cells. Sensing the concentration of such signalling molecules allows bacteria to monitor the local blank of cells, a phenomenon called blank. There is a group of genes in the genome of the described bacterium, called luxgenes, which are organized in an blank. Reaching a certain concentration, molecules involved in this process blank the luxgenes.
