The genotype and phenotype of the diploid Neurospora cells if the mutation occurred on the same gene in these two strains. Introduction: Haploid cells are the cells containing a single set of chromosomes. The fusion of haploid cells forms diploid cells having twice the number of chromosomes. Mutation in the gene causes the knockout of the gene, which means the gene becomes non-functional, and it fails to form an enzyme.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The genotype and phenotype of the diploid Neurospora cells, if the mutation occurred on the different genes in these two strains. The strains were unable to synthesize arginine.

Introduction: Mutation in a particular gene ceases the expression of a particular enzyme for which it codes. This mutation does not impact other genes. The rest of the genes are expressing and coding for a specific enzyme. Two cells with a mutation on different genes will have two different enzymes non-functional.

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for? 3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
