Wild type E. coli metabolizes the sugar lactose by expressing the enzyme ß-galactosidase. You have isolated a mutant that you call lac1-, which cannot synthesize ß-galactosidase and cannot grow on lactose (Lac-). During an condition  isolate  a second Lac– mutation, which you designate lac2-. Using P1 phage on this strain and use the resulting phage lysate to infect the lac2- strain, selecting for   Kanr   transductants. In this case, all 100   Kanr   transductants that are examined are Lac–. What does this result tell you about the relationship between the lac1- and lac2- mutations?

#SCPH06 I Botany
  1. lac1- and lac2- mutations are very far from each other, they are linked, and are mutations in two different genes.
  2.  lac1- and lac2- mutations are very far from each other, they are unlinked, and are mutations in same genes.
  3. lac1- and lac2- mutations are linked, and are mutations in same genes.
  4.  lac1- and lac2- mutations are very far from each other, they are unlinked, and are mutations in two different genes.

When a protein exists in mono-, di- and tri-phosphorylated forms. The difference of a couple of phosphate groups has no significant effect on the overall relative molecular mass of the protein, hence a single band on SDS gels, but the small charge difference introduced on each molecule can be detected by
