This recitation session will explain how a collection of mutants with the same phenotype can be used to study a biochemical pathway. In effect, this session outlines how genetics can be used to study biochemistry. It includes a discussion of yeast as a model system. It outlines how to identify mutants with mutations in the same pathway, how to characterize the mutants into complementation groups, and how to use epistasis tests to infer details about a biochemical pathway.

CPA firms either maintain or have access to numerous types of client records and related working papers. Requests for access to copies of such records can arise from multiple sources, including current and former clients, lawyers, civil and criminal investigators, lenders, and others. All requests should be made in writing.
The obligation of a CPA firm to respond to these requests is governed by professional standards, state board of accountancy regulations, state and federal law, and regulatory bodies. Before responding, a CPA firm should consider all applicable standards, statutes, and regulations. Often, the requesting party seeks an immediate response while actions affecting the CPA firm’s client, such as extending a loan, securing a construction bond, or responding to a regulatory inquiry, are pending—thus creating impediments to a prompt reply.
Additional issues to consider include the standing of the parties requesting the records, the types of records requested, the time frames sought to produce the records, the format of the records being requested, and the resources necessary to identify, retrieve, reproduce, and submit copies of records.
