Beadle and Tatum showed that a gene codes for an enzyme using bread what?
Beadle and Tatum used bread mold (Neurospora crassa) to demonstrate that each gene is responsible for encoding a specific enzyme in a biochemical pathway. By creating mutants that were unable to produce certain enzymes, they showed how mutations in specific genes can disrupt metabolic pathways. This work laid the foundation for the "one gene, one enzyme" hypothesis.
Beadle and tatum's hypothesis?
beadles and tatums hypothesis was that mutations occured when one gene made two poteins it was evidential that beadles and tatums hypothesis had altered in 1941 when tatum found a mutation in one of there experiments.
How did beadle and tatum's research result in the one gene-one polypeptide hypothesis?
The major breakthrough in demonstrating the relationship between genes and proteins came in the 1940s. American geneticists George Beadle and Edward Tatum worked with the orange bread mold Neurospora crassa. Beadle and Tatum studied mutant strains of the mold that were unable to grow on the usual nutrient medium. Each of these mutant strains turned out to lack a single enzyme needed to produce some molecule the mold needed, such as a vitamin or an amino acid. Beadle and Tatum also showed that each mutant was defective in a single gene. Their research led them to propose the "one gene-one enzyme" hypothesis. This hypothesis states that the function of an individual gene is to dictate the production of a specific enzyme.Since then, scientists have learned that some genes actually dictate the production of a single polypeptide, which may make up part of an enzyme or another kind of protein. Beadle and Tatum's hypothesis is now generally stated as one gene-one polypeptide.
What are 2 examples of conjugation fungi?
Two examples of conjugation fungi are Neurospora crassa and Rhizopus stolonifer. Both of these fungi reproduce sexually through a process called conjugation, where two haploid cells fuse to form a diploid zygote.
Is bread mold a saprophyte?
Black bread mold, Rhizopus stolonifer, is not a sac fungi but a zygospore fungi or zygomycota. Red bread molds (neurospora) are in fact sac fungi/ascomycota. They are a form of sexual sac fungi (along with truffles). (from the Mader Biology textbook 10th edition. copyright 2010. Mc-Graw Hill companies)
What organism did Beadle and Tatum use for their experiments?
They used Neurospora Crassa (a bread mold). It could grow in a simple medium which helped aid in their research.

How did Beadle and Tatum determine what biochemical pathways had mutated?
Beadle and Tatum conducted experiments using the mold Neurospora crassa, exposing it to X-rays to induce mutations. They then analyzed the growth of these mutant strains on minimal media supplemented with specific nutrients. By observing which nutrients were required for the growth of each mutant, they inferred which biochemical pathways had been disrupted, leading to their conclusion that each gene is responsible for a specific enzyme in a metabolic pathway. This foundational work established the one gene-one enzyme hypothesis.
What is red bread mold and is it harmful?
Neurospora crassa, or the common red mould is a fungi belonging to the fungal group Ascomycota.Evidence from 2000 stated that any member of the genus Neurospora are harmful. This genus of fungi are obligate aerobes, they need oxygen to carry out their metabolism, hence they can't live inside a human body, which lacks airation.Indeed, N. crassa is model organism, that is widely used as a research tool in genetics, physiology and biotechnology. It can only be harmful to plants, like corn or sugar cane.
