A cross is made between an Hfr that is met+ thi+ pur+ and an F-that is met- thi- pur-. Interrupted mating studies show that met+ enters the recipient last, so met+ recombinants are selected on a medium containing supplements that satisfy only the pur and thi requirements.  These recombinants are tested for the presence of the thi+ and pur+ alleles. The following numbers of individuals are found for each genotype:

A) Gene Order

I

Thi Pur  Met

II

Pur  Met  Thi

III

Pur   Thi  Met

B) Distance between Pur and Thi

IV

15.4 map unit

Four E. coli strains of genotype a+ b− are labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4. Four strains of genotype a− b+ are labeled 5, 6, 7, and 8. The two genotypes are mixed in all possible combinations and (after incubation) are plated to determine the frequency of a+ b+ recombinants. The following results are obtained, where M = many recombinants, L = low numbers of recombinants, and 0 = no recombinants. On the basis of these results, assign a sex type (either Hfr, F+, or F−) to each strain
