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:

Conjugation allowed between Hfr with genotype A B C D E and F- with genotype a b c d e. At regular intervals, a sample of cells was removed and agitated

vigorously in a kitchen blender to halt all conjugation and DNA transfer. After interrupted conjugation, ex-conjugate were selected on minimal media at regular interval and find different number of ex-conjugate?

abCde   - 10, abCdE    -    30 ,  aBCdE  -     40 , ABCdE  -     20 , ABCDE   -   50

What is gene order of those genes?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

DNA from a strain of Bacillus subtilis with genotype a+b+ c+d+ e+ is used to transform a strain with genotype a - b- c- d-   e-. Pairs of genes are checked for co-transformation and the following results are obtained:

Pair of co-transform genes as follow

D-E,             E-C,                C-B,                  A-D

On the basis of these results, what is the order of the genes on the bacterial chromosome?

An Hfr strain with genotype A B C D (each gene for amino acid synthesis )and that transfers the A gene very late was mated with recipient strain with genotype a b c d. After mating for several hours, the mixture was diluted and plated on minimal media with four different supplements having various number of colony

Media supplement with amino acid  

                 Colony                                          number

                  A+C                                                 500

                  C+D                                                  50
