You are studying a bacterial metabolic pathway that results in the synthesis of a product, vitalin, that is essential for survival. In the figure below, each number represents an intermediate product, and each letter represents the enzyme (protein) that catalyzes that step. d. 3 e Vitalin a Compound > Vitalin You find that bacteria with mutations in either c or f can survive, but a bacterial cell that has mutations in both c and f cannot survive. Which of the following statements explain your observations? Select all that apply If both genes, c and f, are mutated, then vitalin cannot be synthesized If gene c is mutated, then vitalin cannot be synthesized The pathway to synthesis of vitalin is branched, and either one can result in vitalin production OIf gene c is mutated, then bacteria can survive by synthesizing vitalin using enzymes f and g

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
