In the Fungus Neurospora, a Metabolic Pathway Synthesizes the Amino

In the fungus Neurospora, a metabolic pathway synthesizes the amino acid Z (which is essential for its survival) f the precursor W. The intermediates X and Y are also produced in this pathway. The enzymes E1, E2, and E3 cata three reactions in the process, as follows: E1 E2 E3
W -X -Y -Z
X- ray radiation can be used to create a mutant strain of Neurospora that has a defective gene sequence for E2. Based on this scenario, the mutant strain will survive on media that contain

A) W, X, Y, or Z.
B) only Y or Z.
C) only X.
D) only Z.
E) only W or X.
