All of the following apply to Luria and Delbrűck’s mutation theory as tested using E. Coli and T1 phage EXCEPT:
A. It was performed using liquid bacterial cultures
B. It involved looking for T1-resistant bacteria as an end measure
C. It was supported by the finding that the number of final cultures that were T1 phage-resistant were constant from experiment to experiment
D. It rejected the possibility of mutations occurring only in response to a T1 phage challenge
E. It supported the concept of spontaneous mutation rates
Griffith discovered a “transforming factor” in bacteria that conveyed infectiousness in 1928. In 1944, Avery, MacLeod and McCarty showed that the transforming factor is DNA
A. Both statements are correct
B. Both statements are incorrect
C. First statements is correct. Second statement is incorrect
D. First statements is incorrect. Second statement is correct
You perform an Ames test to determine which compound X causes mutations or not. You grow
an auxotrophic strain of bacteria on three plates; one with no compound X, one with just
compound X and one with compound X mixed with liver enzymes. You find many more colonies
on the plates with compound X and with compound X plus liver enzymes compared to the control
plate. Which of the following describes the best interpretation of the results?
Compound X causes mutations on it's own but is safe after exposure to liver enzymes.
Compound X is not mutagenic.
Compound X is mutagenic regardless of whether it has been processed by liver enzymes.
Compound X is mutagenic only after being treated with liver enzymes.

- Researchers are designing several experiments to test the ability of Salmonella bacteria to develop antibiotic resistance.

Which of the following statements best explains these results? A - The bacteria were not affected by the antibiotic. B - After being exposed to the antibiotic, the bacteria altered their DNA. C - A new species of bacteria emerged after the antibiotics were introduced.
