Question 19

Multiple Choice

Five nutritional mutants in Neurospora were independently isolated.They all require compound F to grow.Intermediate compounds in the biosynthesis of compound F are known and tested for their ability to support the growth of each mutant.The results are given in the table below,where "+" indicates growth and "0" indicates no growth. \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad  Compounds \text { Compounds }
 Mutants  A B C  D  E F1000+0+20+0+0+300000+40+++0+5++++0+\begin{array}{lllllll}\text { Mutants }&\text { A } &\text {B} &\text { C }&\text { D }&\text { E }&\text {F}\\\hline1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & + & 0 & + \\2 & 0 & + & 0 & + & 0 & + \\3 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & + \\4 & 0 & + & + & + & 0 & + \\5 & + & + & + & + & 0 & +\end{array}
