Beadle and Tatum's Mutated Neurospora Were Unable to Grow on Minimal

Question 34

Multiple Choice

Beadle and Tatum's mutated Neurospora were unable to grow on minimal media plus metabolites A or B,but did grow on minimal media plus metabolites C and D,indicating enzyme 2 was missing from the hypothetical pathway. Beadle and Tatum's mutated Neurospora were unable to grow on minimal media plus metabolites A or B,but did grow on minimal media plus metabolites C and D,indicating enzyme 2 was missing from the hypothetical pathway.    A)  If only enzyme 1 was missing,then growth would occur with just metabolite B. B)  From the limited data given here,enzyme 1 could also be missing from the original experiment. C)  Any minimal media with metabolite D should grow the Neurospora without revealing if the strain contains or lacks enzymes 1,2 or 3. D)  Failure to grow on minimal media possessing metabolites A,B and C reflects a lack of enzyme 3. E)  All of the choices are correct.
