Question
Indicate which of the following statements about this experiment are true. Select all that apply. The his culture used in the Ames test is that of the bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus. The revertant colonies were formed on agar containing histidine. Tube I serves as control. Tube Il serves as control. Tube Ill serves as control. Tube I approximates what would happen in the human body. Tube Il approximates what would happen in the human body. Tube Ill approximates what would happen in the human body. Compound A is mutagenic, but its metabolites are not. Compound A is not mutagenic, but its metabolites are. Compound A is mutagenic, and so are its metabolites. Compound A is not mutagenic. nor are its metabolites. Compound B is mutagenic, but its metabolites are not. Compound B is not mutagenic. but its metabolites are. Compound B is mutagenic, and so are its metabolites. Compound B is not mutagenic, nor are its metabolites. Compound C is mutagenic. but its metabolites are not Compound C is not mutagenic. but its metabolites are. Compound C is mutagenic. and so are its metabolites. Compound C is not mutagenic. nor are its metabolites. Based on this test alone, compound A is more likely than the other compounds to be carcinogenic in humans. Based on this test alone, compound B is more likely than the other compounds to be carcinogenic in humans. Based on this test alone, compound C is more likely than the other compounds to be carcinogenic in humans.Explanation / Answer
The his- culture used in Ames test is that of the bacterium, staphylococus aureus
Tube III serves as control
Tube II approximates what would happen in the human body
Compound A is not mutagenic nor its metabolites
Compound B is mutagenic but its metabolites are not
Compound C is mutagenic and so its metabolites
Based on this test alone, compound C is more likely than the other compounds to be carcinogenic in humans
