In a transduction experiment, phage P1 is grown on a bacterial host of genotype A+ B+ C+ and the resulting lysate is used to infect a recipient strain of genotype A– B– C–. The genes are in an order such that B is in the middle, and the distance between A and B is greater than the distance between B and C. Based on this information, which of the following least genotype?

In the mating Hfr Strs met+ his+ leu+ trp+ Ala+ X F- Strres met- his- leu- trp- Ala-. At regular interval time, the mating cells are interrupted and the cell suspensions plated on four different growth media with streptomycin. The amino acids in the growth media and the number of colonies observed on each are as follows:

A transformation experiment is carried out using donor DNA that is A+B+C+ and a recipient that is A-B- C-. A+ transformants are selected and tested further. Of these, 64% are B+ and none are C+. Also, B+ are selected, and 8% are also C+. What is the gene order

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 |

|
III |
Pur Thi Met |

B) Distance between Pur and Thi |
