Biotin deficiency can arise due to consumption of diet rich in
In a plant species, yellow seed colour (Y) is completely dominant over white (y). A genetic cross between plants with yellow seeds and plants with white seeds yielded a progeny population of 48 yellow-seeded and 52 white-seeded plants. The genotypes of the yellow-seeded and the white-seeded parent plants, respectively, are most likely to be

In an experiment to examine the role of exopolymeric substances (EPS) on bacterial growth, a wildtype strain (S+) and a mutant strain deficient in EPS production (S−) were grown in monocultures as well as in co-culture (in equal proportion of S+and S−). The CFU (colony forming units) of these cultures measured after 24 hours are shown in the following figure.
Q. Which one of the following phenomena best describes the interaction between the wild-type strain (S+ ) and mutant strain (S−)?
