QUESTION 6A series of experiments were performed in Neurospora crassa in order to define the tryptophan biosynthesis pathway. Inone of these experiments, five tryptophan auxotrophs were isolated and tested for growth on tryptophan and five otherknown intermediates in the tryptophan biosynthesis pathway. The growth responses are shown below:Growth onAnthranilicAcid (AA)Growthon IndoleGrowth onIndole GlycerolPhosphate (IGP)Growth onChorismic Acid (CA)Growth on N-Anthranilate(NA)Growth onTryptophanMutants:trp-1trp-2++trp-3+trp-4+++trp-5+++-++++++Using the growth data in the above table, indicate the precursor (molecule that you start with) and the order of theintermediates in this pathway (please use exact spelling or abbreviation).RxnlRxn2Rxn3Rxn5TryptophanRxn4Indicate the mutant that is associated with the enzyme that catalyzes the reactions for tryptophan biosynthesis using thedata given in the above table.Rxn1:Rxn2:Rxn3:Rxn4:Rxn5:

b. Compounds A, B, C, and D are known to be intermediates in the pathway for production of protein E. To determine where the block in protein-E production occurred in each individual, the various intermediates were given to each individuals cel Is in culture. After a few weeks of growth with the intermediate, the cells were assayed for the production of protein E. The results for each individuals cells are given in the following table. A plus sign means that protein E was produced after the cells were given the intermediate listed at the top of the column. A minus sign means that the cells still could not produce protein E even after being exposed to the intermediate at the top of the column. Denote the point in the pathway in which each individual is blocked.

The prospect of using gene therapy to alleviate genetic conditions is still a vision of the future. Gene therapy for adenosine deaminase deficiency has proved to be quite promising, but many obstacles remain to be overcome. Currently, the correction of human genetic defects is done using retroviruses as vectors. For this purpose, viral genes are removed from the retroviral genome, creating a vector capable of transferring human structural genes into sites on human chromosomes within target-tissue cells. Do you see any potential problems with inserting pieces of a retroviral genome into humans? If so, are there ways to combat or prevent these problems?
Sterile normal saline is used in most surgical procedures as an irrigation solution. During certain surgical procedures, such as those for malignancy, the surgeon may request that sterile water be used for irrigation instead of saline following excision of the cancerous mass. Why is normal saline usually used in healthy tissues?
Giaidia iamblia is a cyst-forming protist parasite that causes diarrhea if ingested. Given this information, against what type(s) of environments might G. Iamblia cysts be particularly resistant?
Discuss Concepts Like other accessory pigments, the carotenoids extend the range of wavelengths absorbed in photosynthesis. They also protect plants from a potentially lethal process known as photooxidation. This process begins when excitation energy in chlorophylls drives the conversion of oxygen into free radicals, substances that can damage organic compounds and kill cells. When plants that cannot produce carotenoids are grown in light, they bleach white and die. Given this observation, what molecules in the plants are likely to be destroyed by photooxidation?
