From the table, we can see there were no colonies growing on the tryptophan dropout and the isoleucine drop out, on all the medium plates except for the 1X dilution Tobacco medium plate. For the positive control, increasing concentrations of ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) resulted in a decreasing number of colonies growing on the medium plates. This means that EMS is mutating the yeast in such a way that they would not be able to grow on the YPD. For each concentrations of the positive control,…
