The diagram below shows the F factor and a portion of the E. coli chromosome that has three different insertion sequences (IS) of the same type as is carried on F.
                     
Describe the three different Hfrs (Hfr #1, Hfr #2 and Hfr #3) that can be formed by recombination between the IS on F and each of the IS sequences on the chromosome. Some including the positions of each of the markers (A, B, C, and D) and state which of these markers would be transferred early?

#SCPH01 Biochemistry
  1. Hfr #1: A transferred early

    Hfr #2: C (and then D) transferred early

    Hfr #3: C (then B then A) transferred early

  2. Hfr #1: A transferred early

    Hfr #2: D transferred early

    Hfr #3: B transferred early

  3. Hfr #1: B transferred early

    Hfr #2: C transferred early

    Hfr #3: B (and then A) transferred early

  4. Hfr #1: A transferred early
    Hfr #2: D (and then C) transferred early
    Hfr #3: B ( and then A) transferred early
