Question

. In Figure 6-11,
a. in view of the position of HPA oxidase earlier in the
pathway compared to that of HA oxidase, would you
expect people with tyrosinosis to show symptoms of
alkaptonuria?
b. if a double mutant could be found, would you expect
tyrosinosis to be epistatic to alkaptonuria?
