9 In your study of a new bacterial species you have identified a transducing phage that you call Px. In addition you have worked out methods to make random transposon insertions into the bacterial genome. You have generated two different transposon insertion collections one with 105 random Tn5 (Kanr) insertions and the other with 105 random Tn10 (Tetr) insertions. You grow Px phage on the mixed collection of Tn5 insertions and use the resulting phage lysate to infect the mixed collection of Tn10 insertions. You select 10,000 Kanr  transductants and find that 80 of them are Tets. Use this information to estimate the total size of the bacterial genome assuming that both Tn5 and Tn10 insert randomly and that the average size of a fragment recombined into the recipient genome during Px transduction is 55 kbp. (Tn5 is about 5 kbp and Tn10 is 10 kbp.)

In given Relationship of oxygen production to flash energy, the first evidence for the interaction between the antenna pigments and the reaction centre, What conclusion can be drawn about based on graph;


a.) several hundred pigments are associated with each reaction centre and that each reaction centre must operate four times to produce 1 molecule of oxygen—hence the value of 2500 chlorophylls per O2

b.) low light intensity of the curve, an increase in the number of photons stimulates a proportional increase in oxygen evolution. Thus, the slope of the curve measures the quantum yield for oxygen production

c.) The quantum yield for a particular process can range from 0 →if that process does not respond to light to 1.0→if every photon absorbed contributes to the process by forming a product

d.) O2 require more than a single photochemical event to be formed, and therefore have a lower quantum yield of formation than the photochemical quantum yield. It takes about ten photons to produce one molecule of O2, so the quantum yield of O2 production is about 0.1

Which of the following statements would be correct relates with graph?
