A membrane is used for separation of gases from waste. If the feed stream contains 20% CO2 and 80% SO2 and the product contains 25% CO2 and 75% SO2. Assume that the waste stream amounts to 80% of the input stream. What is the composition of CO2 in waste stream?

A researcher would like to map the location of galE and trpA genes in a new species of bacterium that appears to be closely related to E. coli. He decides to use cotransduction, and generatesnappropriate donor and recipient strains. He is disappointed when cotransduction is not seen in his experiement. What is the most reasonable explanation for this situation?
