Forward genetics was used to generate five mutant strains of Neurospora that have reduced growth. Based on the following complementation tests, how many different genes are mutated for Mutant A? A B C D E A - + - - + B + - + + - C - + - - + D - + - - + E + - + + - Select one: a. 2 b. 4 c. 1 d. 5 e. 3

Step 1: Identify the complementation groups based on the complementation tests: - Mutants A and B show complementation - Mutants A and C do not show complementation - Mutants A and D show complementation - Mutants A and E show complementation Show more…

You have isolated 6 independent mutant strains of the bread mold, Neurospora, labeled strain A, B, C, D, E, and F. You do a complementation test on all possible combinations of these strains and you get the following results: (A + means that the diploids grow and a - indicates no growth.) In the complementation analysis shown above, how many different genes are represented in this set of mutants? None of the other answers is correct.
Suppose a single trait is controlled by a gene with four codominant alleles. A person can inherit any combination of two of the four alleles. How many phenotypes are possible for this trait?
