Wild-type bacteria can grow on minimal medium. Four mutants that cannot grow on minimal medium but can grow on minimal medium su

pplemented with the nutrient “C” are isolated. It is suspected that metabolites A, B, and D are in the biochemical pathway for synthesis of C, so each mutant is tested for the ability to grow on minimal medium supplemented with these metabolites.
Mutant 1: can grow on minimal medium supplemented with A, but not B or D
Mutant 2: is unable to grow on minimal medium supplemented with A, B, or D
Mutant 3: is able to grow on minimal medium supplemented with B or A, but not D
Mutant 4: can grow on minimal medium supplemented with A, B, or D.

Which of the following is NOT consistent with this information?

A. Mutant 2 will cause a build up of metabolite D
B. Mutant 1 will cause a build up of metabolite B
C. Mutant 3 blocks the conversion of metabolite D → metabolite B
D. Mutant 2 blocks a step right before metabolite C.
E. Mutant 4 blocks a step before all 4 metabolites.

sammy [17]

Answer:

Farts — also called flatus (say: FLAY-tuss) or intestinal (say: in-TESS-tuh-null) gas — are made of, well, gas! When you eat, you don't swallow just your food. All of these gases in the digestive system have to escape somehow, so they come out as farts! Gases are also what can make farts smell bad.

expeople1 [14]

The correct answer is D. Mutation causing uncontrolled cell division.

Mutation is termed as the alteration of sequence of nucleotides which is permanent to organisms or extrachromosomal DNA or virus.

During DNA replication mutation may result from different errors. For example, during meiosis we can say that the result of mutation can be harmful if mutation can change proteins which are being produced by a gene.
