In a generalized transduction experiment, phages are collected from an E. coli donor strain of genotype cys+ leu+thr+ and used to transduce a recipient of genotype cys_ leu_ thr_. Initially, the treated recipient population is plated on a minimal medium supplemented with leucine and threonine. Many colonies are obtained. These colonies are then replica-plated onto three different media: What is order of gene?

Four E. coli strains of genotype a+ b− are labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4. Four strains of genotype a− b+ are labeled 5, 6, 7, and 8. The two genotypes are mixed in all possible combinations and (after incubation) are plated to determine the frequency of a+ b+ recombinants. The following results are obtained, where M = many recombinants, L = low numbers of recombinants, and 0 = no recombinants. On the basis of these results, assign a sex type (either Hfr, F+, or F−) to each strain

Cystic fibrosis is caused by a recessive lethal gene and can be detected by an excess concentration of chloride in sweat. A normal man whose sister has cystic fibrosis, his normal wife whose brother has cystic fibrosis. What is chance of cystic fibrosis in their child?
