Wild type E. coli metabolizes the sugar lactose by expressing the enzyme ß-galactosidase. You have isolated a mutant that you call lac1–, which cannot synthesize ß-galactosidase and cannot grow on lactose (Lac–). During an condition you have a wild type (Lac+) strain carrying a Tn5 insertion known to be near several Lac genes on the E. coli chromosome. You grow P1 phage on this strain and use the resulting phage lysate to infect the lac1– strain, selecting for kanamycin resistance (Kanr). Among 100 Kanr transductants, you find that 82 are Lac– and 18 are Lac+. Express the distance between Tn5 and the lac1– mutation as a cotransduction frequency;

During the normal functioning of the photosynthetic system, the chemical reactions in which water is oxidized to oxygen, NADP+ is reduced to NADPH, and ATP is formed almost all the reactions up to NADP+ reduction take place in

Oxygen-Evolving Organisms Have two Photosystems that Operate in Series, explain by emerson that is the Photosystem I preferentially absorbs far-red light of wavelengths greater than 680 nm; photosystem II preferentially absorbs red light of 680 nm and is driven very poorly by far-red light; Another difference between the photosystems is that,

a.) Photosystem I produces a strong reductant, capable of reducing NADP+, and a weak oxidant

b.) Photosystem I produces a very strong oxidant, capable of oxidizing water, and a weaker reductant than the one produced by photosystem II

c.) Photosystem II produces a strong reductant, capable of reducing NADP+, and a weak oxidant

d.) Photosystem II produces a very strong oxidant, capable of oxidizing water, and a weaker reductant than the one produced by photosystem I

Which statements would be CORRECT?

The rate of photosynthesis when red and far-red light are given together is greater than the sum of the rates when they are given apart, the effect provided essential

evidence in favor of the concept that photosynthesis is carried out by two photochemical systems working in tandem but with slightly different wavelength optima

this effect is known as
