Question
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:
Enzyme A
Enzyme B
Enzyme Ç
Compound X
It is know that genes encoding enzymes A and C are on two different
chromosomes.
Compound Y
Compound Z-
Arginine
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?
