The expected results of the tests by placing a plus (+) for growth or a minus (-) for no growth of the mutants on minimal medium in the table given in the question.

Introduction:

Beadle and Tatum used the fungus Neurospora to manipulate the biochemical results of mutations. Their experiment includes the investigation of biosynthetic pathways through which they proposed the one gene, one enzyme hypothesis. Beadle and Tatum observed that each step in the biochemical pathway is controlled by a separate enzyme and through genetic crosses and mapping experiments; they were able to illustrate the mutations affecting a particular biosynthetic pathway took place at a single locus that encoded a specific enzyme.
