You conduct mutagenesis experiment and identify 5 potential mutants (A through E) that affect serine synthesis in Neurospora. In order to determine if these mutants are in the same gene or not, you perform complementation tests by forming diploids by pairing mutants together. The results are given below, where a""indicates complementation and a-"indicates no complementation. A B C D E 32) 32) How many complementation groups are there in your sample of 5 mutants? E)3 B) 2 C) 5 D) 4 A) 1 33) 33) Which of the following is a complementation group from your experiment? A) B, C, D B) Answers C and D are correct C) D E) A tnt ic the probability that the ? individual 34Explanation / Answer
Answer: Complementation test is to determine whether mutations that produce the similar phenotypes are in the same gene or in different genes. When two mutations that do not complement each other in this test it means there are in the same gene.
Ans. 32. There are 3 complementation groups.
Group 1: A&E in one gene
Group 2: B&C in one gene
Group 3: D in separate gene
Ans.33. option D is correct i.e. B&C
In option 1 D cannot grouped with B&C; option 2 and 3 is incorrect because D is ungrouped means on different gene was not represented in the original group of mutant while in option E, A alone is not the complementation group.
