Consider the pathway for the synthesis of the amino acid arginine in Neurospora: ARG-E ARG-F ARG-H ornithine citrulline argininosuccinate arginine Mutant strains of Neurospora are grown in minimal media supplements as follows. Each mutant strain carries only a single mutation. Growth is shown by (+) and no growth is shown by (o). Supplements mutant strain nothing ornithine citrulline argininosuccinate arginine a 0 0 0 + + b 0 0 + + + c 0 0 0 0 + Indicate the correct pairing: mutant strain defective gene. strain a ARG-F

Neurospora has an arginine amino acid synthesis pathway shown below: ornithine citrulline arginine Enzyme A Enzyme B Enzyme C Gene A Gene B Gene C Suppose we have a Neurospora strain that has a mutation such that it will not grow unless the media (food) is supplemented with arginine (but not with citrulline or ornithine). What gene is mutated? Explain your reasoning.
