A new chemical pesticide developed for agricultural use was subjected to the Ames test. The rate of mutation seen in samples treated with the pesticide and liver extract was approximately half that of the samples treated with the liver extract alone; in samples treated with only pesticide, the mutation rate was about the same as that of untreated samples. Which of the following statements could you make about this pesticide?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology
  1. The pesticide is modified by liver enzymes.

  2. The pesticide is unlikely to be a mutagen.

  3. The pesticide may be protective against spontaneous mutation.

  4. All of the above.
