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.

What is the maximum number of genes that these 20 mutants could represent?

Following statements are regarding to the protein phosphatase Cdc14 function in budding yeast.

A. In budding yeast, the protein phosphatase Cdc14 throws the switch between two mutually antagonistic states during anaphase.

B. Cdc14 is kept inactive during most of the cell cycle, but is activated during anaphase by a GTPase signaling pathway known as the mitotic exit network.

C. Mitotic exit network is unresponsive to spindle position and becomes active in anaphase.

D. Cdc14 phosphatase activated by the activation of protein kinase cascade.

E. Cdc14 dephosphorylates APC/CCdh1 and Sic1 to promote mitotic cyclin degradation

and mitotic CDK inactivation, respectively. This process leads to exit from mitosis.

Which of the following combination is incorrect?
