You have a strain of Neurospora that is unable to synthesize histidine and thus requires H in the media in order to grow. You have isolated one revertant colony. Predict the expected proportion of the progeny that would be h+ if you cross the colony with the original mutant colony and the reversion occurred by each of the following mechanisms: Precise change of the mutated base back to its original base. A suppressor gene is mutated on a different chromosome A suppressor gene is mutated on the same chromosome but 10mu distant from the mutated gene. The mutant colony is crossed to a wild-type Neurospora colony and the following data are collected. 95% of all asci scored are h+ but 5% are h-. Which mechanism in part a is consistent with these data? Explain why and what has happened on a molecular level.

Genomic studies

Genomic studies (genomics) is the study of the whole genome of an organism. Using bioinformatics and high-performance computing, genomic researchers examined massive amounts of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-sequence data to discover variations or mutations that affect drug response, health, or disease. Genomics is a much younger discipline than genetics, having only emerged in the last few decades as a result of technological advancements in DNA sequencing and computational biology.
