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
Based on these experiments, what is the minimum number of genes required for threonine synthesis?

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior
Given below are some behaviors strategies.
A) Fixed action pattern, complex sequence of behavior, Once released and continuous to completion, even when there is change in surrounding environment
B) natural selection select that territorial behavior that is benefit is greater than cost
C) Imprinting, a form of learning in which a very young animal fixes its attention on the first object with which it has visual, auditory, or tactile experience
D) Donor benefits at a cost to the recipient, the behavior is altruistic; when the recipient benefits at a cost to the donor, the behavior is selfish.

How to Phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1) and Fructose 1,6-Bisphosphatase are reciprocally regulated ?
a) ATP inhibits PFK-1 by binding to an allosteric site and lowering the affinity of the enzyme for its substrate fructose 6-phosphate
b) citrate is also an allosteric regulator of PFK-1, high citrate concentration increases the inhibitory effect of ATP
c) FBPase-1, is strongly inhibited (allosterically) by AMP; when the cell’s supply of ATP is low (corresponding to high AMP), the ATP-requiring synthesis of glucose slows
d) AMP inhibits PFK-1 by binding to an allosteric site and lowering the affinity of the enzyme for its substrate fructose 6-phosphate
Which of the following statements of regulation of enzyme is correct?
