For a haploid fungus, the starting point in the biosynthesis of the amino acid arginine is Compound X, which is always present in and absorbed from the environment. The arginine biosynthetic pathway is: Compound X- Enzyme A Compound Y- Enzyme B Enzyme C Compound Z- Arginine It is know that genes encoding enzymes A and C are on two different chromosomes. A mutant strain of genotype a (lacking only enzyme A) is crossed to a mutant strain of genotype c (lacking only enzyme C) to generate a diploid strain. Sporulation (i.e. meiosis) is subsequently induced in the resulting diploid strain. What proportion of the spores (haploids formed by sporulation) is expected to grow on medium without arginine but supplemented with Compound Y? 100% 50% S 0% 25%
