Please choose the statement describing why the geographical location of the fungus is so important to the likelihood of infection.
A) Some fungi favor warmer climates, and others favor colder climates. therefore, where the human population lives, determines the risk of infection.
B) Some fungi favor higher humidity, and others favor lower humidity: therefore, where the human population lives determines the risk of infection.
C) A particular genus of fungus may be found in a specific location or habitat, such as the ground around an extensive bird nesting site with the bird droppings, serving as nutrients for the fungus.
D) The air quality—clean or polluted—determines the likelihood of fungal infections in the human population.
C) A particular genus of fungus may be found in a specific location or habitat, such as the ground around an extensive bird nesting site with the bird droppings, serving as nutrients for the fungus.

The Ames test is used to identify potential carcinogens. A compound tested resulted in a few scattered colonies growing on the media, similar to the control plate with no disk. What does this result imply?
A. The compound in the disk is so toxic that it inhibits almost all growth on the plate. B. The few colonies that grew are resistant to the compound. C. The few colonies that grew contain reversion mutations that allow them to grow on media without histidine. D. The compound in the disk is not mutagenic so there was no increase in the reversion rate. E. Either the compound in the disk is not mutagenic or the few colonies that grew contain reversion mutations.
