Question
15. Several mutants are isolated, all of which require com-
pound G for growth. The compounds (A to E) in the bio-
synthetic pathway to G are known, but their order in the
pathway is not known. Each compound is tested for its
ability to support the growth of each mutant (1 to 5). In
the following table, a plus sign indicates growth and a
minus sign indicates no growth.
olord bos og elu Compound tested
А В
B CDEG
Mutanf 1
a. What is the order of compounds A to E in the pathway?
b. At which point in the pathway is each mutant blocked?
c. Would a heterokaryon composed of double mutants
1,3 and 2,4 grow on a minimal medium? Would 1,3 and
3,4? Would 1,2 and 2,4 and 1,4?
