Recall that in the Ames Test, potential mutagens are tested for their ability to revert His− auxotrophs to His+. Any particular

his- mutation present in a His− auxotrophic bacterial strain would be able to be reverted only by some mutagens and not others. Yet, the purpose of the Ames Test is to determine whether or not a specific substance is a mutagen of any type. How is the Ames Test actually performed to circumvent this problem?

To work around this problem, the Ames test is done as follows:

A petri dish is seeded with salmonella colonies, moreover, in that petri dish a little chemical is added in the center. A culture medium is also added to the plate where agar is one of the ingredients and biotin and histidine have been mixed.

Only bacteria that show some kind of mutation will grow on these agar plates. This is because histidine has the function of allowing cell divisions necessary only for cases in which mutagenesis is necessary to occur.

Did the US government do enough to respond to
sammy [17]

What was America's Response to the Holocaust before the War?

Americans paid attention and were outraged by the Nazi attacks through petitions where tens of thousands of Americans wrote, signed, and sent the documents to Washington. It tells that the American people had information on the persecution of the Jews in 1933. The Americans saw the early warning sign through Adolf Hitler, an authoritarian ruler who had spread an exclusionary and violent racist ideology that became the precursors to genocide. To protest, Americans showed up at rallies and boycotted German stores.

What could the US Have done differently?

Adolf Hitler paid close attention to the American media coverage and may have gone further, and faster, had he not read about the American people's disapproval. Fewer Jews may have gotten out of Germany, and America could have been less prepared to respond militarily. The rallies, petitions, and boycotts mattered a great deal with a network formed by like-minded Americans who in this period that later led some Americans to raise their voices even louder and take greater risks as Nazi persecutions of Jews worsened in Europe. There were warning signs on Hitler and Nazi Germany, weekly and the US would have acted. These signs included the targeting of Jews, communists, and other political opponents.
