You are studying a new strain of E. coli that can utilize the disaccharide melibiose very efficiently. You find that utilization depends on the enzyme melibiase, which is encoded by the gene Mel1. Mel1 is not expressed unless melibiose is present in the growth medium. Next you isolate a mutation, designated MelB–, which gives uninducible melibiase activity. Mapping experiments show that MelB– is linked to Mel1. Using an F' factor that carries the chromosomal region surrounding Mel1, you perform the following genetic tests:

                      

Describe the basic genetic properties of the MelB– mutation?

Following are certain statements regarding furanocoumarins;

 a) furanocoumarins have an attached furan ring

 b) These compounds are toxic until they are activated by sunlight in the ultraviolet A (UV-A) region (320–400 nm)  

 c) Light activated furanocoumarins can insert themselves into the double helix of DNA and bind to the pyrimidine bases, thus blocking transcription and repair and leading eventually to cell death   

 d) Phototoxic furanocoumarins are especially abundant in members of the Umbelliferae family, including celery, parsnip, and parsley.

 Which of the following combination from the above statements is correct?
