QUESTION 36
Imagine you do a version of the Beadle-Tatum experiment in which you attempt to test the one-gene, one-enzyme
hypothesis, but using the pathway of synthesis of amino acid Q from x (below). The reactions, in order, are catalyzed
by enzymes E1-E5. X is always present in cells, and cells need Q to grow.

You identify a mutant strain that doesn't grow in normal medium, but does grow in medium supplemented with Q,
indicating that it has a defect in one or more enzymes in this pathway. The only other piece of data you have is that this
strain is also able to grow if you supplement the medium with Z. Is this data evidence for the one gene-one enzyme
hypothesis?
O no, because this doesn't rule out the possibility that both Enzymes 1 and 2 are disrupted
O yes, because enzymes 3, 4, and 5 are functional in the mutant
O yes, because only one enzyme is disrupted by the mutation
O no, because this tells you that some of the enzymes in the pathway are still functional
