In addition to testing shmoo formation in the two mutant strains of yeast, the scientists also tested shmoo formation in wild-type yeast.
?What is the purpose of including wild-type yeast cells in the experiment?
| to show the difference between symmetrical and asymmetrical growth |
| to show normal shmoo formation under the experimental conditions |
| to allow the scientists to see the interaction between Fus3 kinase and formin |
| to show what happens to shmoo formation when both Fus3 kinase and formin are absent |
Solution
In addition to testing shmoo formation in the two mutant strains of yeast, the scientists also tested shmoo formation in wild-type yeast to show normal shmoo formation under experimental condition.
