Suppose you cultured yeast, that you had transformed with pMZ379 plus the AVT5 sgRNA, on a plate of YES agar plus salt ions. You then cultured the same yeast on a plate containing only YES agar. Your results showed no growth on either plate. Which of the following is the most reasonable interpretation of your results? O A) The yeast were not transformed with pMZ379. B) The Cas9 gene was mutated, and was not able to cut the DNA and silence the yeast gene. C) The sgRNA gene was mutated in the plasmid, so that it did not lead the Cas9 to the correct yeast gene. D) The yeast were not viable or the conditions of growth in the experiment (temperature, humidity, etc.) were not sufficient to promote growth of the yeast. lecture 21.m4a Apr 20, 2022 19r

Question
Suppose you cultured yeast, that you had transformed with pMZ379 plus the AVT5
sgRNA, on a plate of YES agar plus salt ions. You then cultured the same yeast on a
plate containing only YES agar. Your results showed no growth on either plate.
Which of the following is the most reasonable interpretation of your results?
O A) The yeast were not transformed with pMZ379.
B) The Cas9 gene was mutated, and was not able to cut the DNA and silence
the yeast gene.
C) The sgRNA gene was mutated in the plasmid, so that it did not lead the Cas9
to the correct yeast gene.
D) The yeast were not viable or the conditions of growth in the experiment
(temperature, humidity, etc.) were not sufficient to promote growth of the
yeast.
