#Question id: 5280


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
