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.
