Question
Chapter 32, Problem 1CA
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
Find the conclusion of given Ames test data.
Introduction:
Ames test is a screening process to identify high-risk compounds that are capable of causing mutations. It relies on using auxotroph of salmonella enterica, which cannot synthesize histidine (His-). The auxotroph has a mutation in dark excision repair (uvrB) and rfa.
