Two different mutations are identified in a haploid strain of yeast. The first prevents the synthesis of adenine by a nonsense mutation of the ade-1 gene. In this mutation, a base-pair substitution changes a tryptophan codon (UGG) to a stop codon (UGA). The second affects one of several duplicate tRNA genes. This base-pair substitution mutation changes the anticodon sequence of a tRNATrp from 3'-ACC - 5' to 3'-ACU - 5'

1. Do you consider the second mutation to be a forward mutation or a reversion?
Do you consider the second mutation to be a forward mutation or a reversion?

a. second-site reversion (suppressor)
b. forward mutation
c. true reversion
d. intragenic reversion

2. Assuming there are no other mutations in the genome, will this double-mutant yeast strain be able to grow on minimal medium?

a. yes
b. no

The earth consists of a variety of different organisms. despite their diversity, however, some similarities on the structural and metabolic levels may be seen. these similarities can be attributed to a. similarities among organisms in their proteins and nucleic acids. b. the ability of organisms to readily adapt to sudden environmental changes. c. similarities in organisms' habitats and niches. d. the ability of all organisms to interbreed and produce new species.
