Three haploid fungal mutants that require compound W for growth were isolated. 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). A В C W + + Mutant 1 Mutant 2 + Mutant 3 What would be the phenotype of a haploid mutant that contains both mutant alleles in mutant 2 and 3? Phenotype refers to growth or absence of growth on compounds A, B, C and VW. O Like mutant 1 Like mutant 2 Like mutant 3 O Like wild type

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 cross was performed between a yeast strain that requires methionine and lysine for growth (met− lys−)and another yeast strain, which is met+ lys+. One hundred asci were dissected, and colonies were grownfrom the four spores in each ascus. Cells from thesecolonies were tested for their ability to grow on petriplates containing either minimal medium (min), min+ lysine (lys), min + methionine (met), or min + lys+ met. The asci could be divided into two groupsbased on this analysis:Group 1: In 89 asci, cells from two of the four spore colonies couldgrow on all four kinds of media, while the other two spore coloniescould grow only on min + lys + met.Group 2: In 11 asci, cells from one of the four spore colonies couldgrow on all four kinds of petri plates. Cells from a second one ofthe four spore colonies could grow only on min + lys plates andon min + lys + met plates. Cells from a third of the four sporecolonies could only grow on min + met plates and on min + lys+ met. Cells from the…
Baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is a single-celled, diploid fungus (which is, of course, a eukaryote, that is capable of both meiosis and sexual reproduction). Wild type yeast can normally grow on solid or liquid minimal medium; you isolate three mutant strains which are no longer capable of growing on minimal medium alone, however, they can grow on medium supplemented with adenine. All three yeast strains are homozygous for the underlying alleles. When you cross mutant strain 1 and mutant strain 2, the offspring cannot grow on minimal medium alone and require adenine supplementation; when you cross mutant strain 1 and mutant strain 3, the offspring can grow on minimal medium alone and do not require adenine. After crossing the F1 generation of the cross between mutant strains 1 and 3, you count and determine the phenotypes of 1,000 colonies (here a colony is equivalent to an individual): 563 colonies that can grow on minimal medium alone; 437 colonies that require adenine…

For a haploid fungus, the starting point in the biosynthesis of the amino acid arginine is Compound X, which is always present in and absorbed from the environment. The arginine biosynthetic pathway is: Enzyme A Enzyme B Enzyme Ç Compound X It is know that genes encoding enzymes A and C are on two different chromosomes. Compound Y Compound Z- Arginine A mutant strain of genotype a (lacking only enzyme A) is crossed to a mutant strain of genotype c (lacking only enzyme C) to generate a diploid strain. Sporulation (i.e. meiosis) is subsequently induced in the resulting diploid strain. What proportion of the spores (haploids formed by sporulation) is expected to grow on medium without arginine but supplemented with Compound Y? O 100% 50% 0% 25%
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).

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?

In a haploid yeast strain, eight recessive mutationswere found that resulted in a requirement for theamino acid lysine. All the mutations were found to revert at a frequency of about 1 × 10−6 except mutations5 and 6, which did not revert. Matings were madebetween a and α cells carrying these mutations. Theability of the resultant diploid strains to grow onminimal medium in the absence of lysine is shown inthe following chart (+ means growth and − means nogrowth.)1 2 3 4 5 6 7 81 − + + + + − + −2 + − + + + + + +3 + + − − − − − +4 + + − − − − − +5 + + − − − − − +6 − + − − − − − −7 + + − − − − − +8 − + + + + − + −a.

The vast majority of resultant spores areauxotrophic; that is, they cannot form colonies whenplated on minimal medium (without lysine). However,particular diploids can produce rare spores…
