Fossil evidence indicates that several kinds of flightless dinosaurs possessed feathers. If some of these feather-bearing dinosaurs incubated clutches of eggs in carefully constructed nests, this might be evidence supporting the claim that

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior
  1. dinosaurs were as fully endothermal (warm-blooded) as modern birds and mammals.

  2. their feathers originally served as insulation, and only later became flight surfaces.

  3. the earliest reptiles could fly, and the feathers of flightless dinosaurs were vestigial flight surfaces.

  4. the feathers were plucked from the bodies of other adults to provide nest-building materials.

A transformation experiment is performed with a donor strain that is resistant to four drugs: W, X, Y, and Z. The recipient is sensitive to all four drugs. The treated recipient population is divided up and plated on media containing various combinations of the drugs. The table below shows the results:

A number of nutritional mutant strains were isolated from wild-type Neurospora that responded to the addition of certain supplements in the culture medium by growth ( + ) or lack of growth ( -). Given the following responses for single gene mutations, diagram a metabolic pathway that could exist in the wild-type strain that is most consistent with the data. Indicate where the pathway is blocked in each mutant strain.
