You and your lab partner have isolated 20 new mutant yeast strains that are defective in synthesis of threonine, an amino acid. These Thr- mutants do not grow on minimal medium, but they do grow on minimal medium supplemented with threonine. Ten of your Thr- mutants (numbered 1 through 10) were isolated in a strain of mating type a (MAT a). The other 10 Thrmutants (numbered 11 through 20) were isolated in a strain of mating type α (MAT α). You and your lab partner cross each of the MAT a strains to each of the MAT α strains, and you include crosses to the appropriate wild-type strains. Your experimental observations are shown in the table below, where (-) indicates diploids that did not grow on minimal medium and (+) indicates diploids that did grow on minimal medium.

Which mutations are dominant?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology
  1. only 9 strain shows dominant mutation
  2. all except 9 and 14
  3. only 14 strain shows dominant mutation
  4. both 9 and 14 strain

During the biosynthesis of brassinosteroid derived from the sterol campesterol follows two types of the pathway
i) Late C-6 oxidation pathway
ii) Early C-6 oxidation pathway
follows  the different reaction performing in each  pathways such as,
a) Campesterol → Campestanol →6-Deoxoteasterone→ Castasterone→Teasterone →Brassinolide
b) Campesterol → 6-Oxocampestanol →Cathasterone →Teasterone → Castasterone →Brassinolide
c) Campesterol → Campestanol →6-Deoxocathasterone →6-Deoxoteasterone → Castasterone →Brassinolide
Find the correct combination of the each oxidation pathway with its performing sequences;
