In the mating Hfr met- his+ leu+ trp+ × F- met+ his- leu- trp-.  The met marker is known to be transferred very late. After a short time, the mating cells are interrupted and the cell suspensions plated on four different growth media. The amino acids in the growth media and the number of colonies observed on each are as follows:

histidine + tryptophan  250 colonies

histidine + leucine         50 colonies 

leucine + tryptophan    500 colonies

histidine                       10 colonies

What is the order of transfer of the genes

The mussel Mytilus edulis thrives in saline habitats, in both the highly salty seawater of tidal zones and the less salty estuaries. This results in two kinds of populations: one adapted to the higher salt concentrations of the tidal zone, and one adapted to the lower salt concentrations of the estuary. It has been found that the more salt-tolerant populations have high frequencies of an allele that produces an enzyme involved in maintaining osmotic equilibrium. Conversely, estuarine mussels having the same enzyme seem to be disfavoured and have a much higher death rate than mussels without the allele. Adult estuarine populations do have lower frequencies of this allele. Each spring, large numbers of larvae from  the salty habitats pour into the estuaries.

The invasion of the seawater larvae would be expected to facilitate change in the genetic structure of the estuarine population by a process called
