#Question id: 5295


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

V

1.8 map unit
