Consider the Pathway for the Synthesis of the Amino Acid

question 4

Multiple Choice

Consider the pathway for the synthesis of the amino acid arginine in Neurospora: $\begin{array}{ll}&A R G-E&&A R G-F&&A R G-H\\\text { ornithine }& \rightarrow &\text { citrulline } &\rightarrow& \text { argininosuccinate } &\rightarrow&\text { arginine }\end{array}$
Mutant strains of Neurospora may carry one or more mutations.Neurospora mutant strain b is grown on minimal media plus supplements as shown.Growth is shown by (+) and no growth is shown by (o) . $~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\underline{ Supplements }$
$\begin{array}{cccccc}\begin{array}{c}\text { mutant } \\\text { strain }\end{array} & \text { nothing } & \text { ornithine } & \text { citrulline } & \begin{array}{c}\text { arginino- } \\\text { succinate }\end{array} & \text { arginine } \\\text { a } & 0 & 0 & 0 & + & + \\\text { b } & 0 & 0 & + & + & +\end{array}$ What can you conclude from these data?

• A)Strain a has only one mutation and it is in ARG-E.
• B)Strain b has only one mutation and it is in ARG-H.
• C)Strain a has a mutation in ARG-F and strain b has a mutation in ARG-E.
• D)Strain b has mutations in ARG-E, ARG-F, and ARG-H.

Definitions:

Low-Context

This term refers to cultures where communication is explicit, words carry most of the communication weight, and less is left to interpret from context or non-verbal cues.

Regional Segmentation

A strategy in marketing that divides a broad market into smaller subsets of consumers who have common needs and priorities.

Mature Market

A market that has reached a state of equilibrium or saturation, characterized by slow growth and steady demand.

High-Context

Communication style in which most of the information is inferred from the context rather than explicitly stated in the verbal message.
