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.

The following is a schematic representation of region of the chromosome of fly along with extent of six deletions (Del 1 to Del 6); 
When flies homozygous for the recessive mutations are crossed with flies heterozygous for the deletions, the following results are obtained, in which "m" represents a mutant phenotype and a plus sign (+) represents the wild type. On the basis of these data, determine the relative order of the seven mutant eenes on the chromosome.

A panel of cell lines was created by human—mouse somatic-cell hybridization. Each cell line was examined for the presence of human chromosomes and for the production of three enzymes. The following results were obtained: 

On the basis of these results, give the chromosomal locations of the genes encoding enzyme 1, enzyme 2, and enzyme 3.
