What can be assumed from these results?

In the Ames test, mutagenicity is normally tested on a strain of bacterium (Salmonella typhimurium) that cannot synthesize the amino acid histidine. Therefore, these bacteria require histidine in the growth plate to survive. A researcher performs the Ames test to evaluate the mutagenicity of a newly synthesized compound and notices that Salmonella typhimurium is living on a histidine-free growth plate. A. The newly synthesized compound induces a mutation in the bacteria. B. The bacteria no longer produce histidine. C. The bacteria produce histidine. D. The newly synthesized compound induces a mutation in the bacteria and the bacteria no longer produce histidine. E. The newly synthesized compound induces a mutation in the bacteria and the bacteria produce histidine.
