Question

The map below was constructed using information from an interrupted mating experiment. Str# refers to the strain number from which the data were obtained. The strains that are referenced by the Str#'s on the map are considered to be strains. The units for the map distance values on this map are Assume that four genes were transferred by each strain in the interrupted mating experiment. Based on this map, list in order of transfer (first to last) the genes transferred by Str2. Type your answer by typing in the letters that represent the genes without any spaces so that Moodle can grade it correctly.

Answer 1

The High-Frequency Recombination (Hfr) is used to indicate the high rate at which Hfr donor genes recombined with the chromosome of F recipients (lack of Fertility "F" factor) during the process of conjugation between Hfr donor and F recipient strains. Interrupted mating ceases the process of conjugation before the Hfr chromosome is completely transferred to the recipient cell. Thus, time-of-entry mapping experiments based on interrupted mating are conducted to determine the order of donor genes and the distances between the genes So, the strains that are referenced by the Str#'s on the map are considered to be F|strains The units for the map distance values on this map are minutes. The order of transfer (first to last) the genes transferred by Str3 will be KWHA
