    6. Transposon mutagenesis was performed to identify genes that are involved in the biosynthesis of theA amino acid alanine. A wildtype culture of E. coli was infected with a defective phage carrying Tn10 A and the culture was plated on LB-tet media to obtain tet-resistant colony forming units. (LB is a rich growth media for E. coli and contains all amino acids required for bacterial growth) Individual CFU were then transferred to a multiwell plate containing liquid LB-tet media and...

    2a. (4 pts) A potent mutagen was added to an E. coli culture growing in rich broth. Prior experiments established that this F cell line, designated WWU113, could not synthesize leucine. You are interested in measuring the rate of induced reverse mutation. You plan to grow a liquid culture of the leu strain and then plate various dilutions of the culture onto selective media. What media should you use to grow up the liquid culture? This will be Media A...

    Cloning 2 Below is the restriction map of a 10 kb piece of DNA. Also shown below is a cloning vector which has two unique restriction enzyme recognition sites, one for EcoRI (E) and one for HindIII (H). The location of the kanamycin (kan) and ampicillin (amp) resistance genes is also shown. Kanamycin and ampicillin are antibiotics that are commonly used to select transformed E. colicells (consult the Lab Manual for more information). Note that the HindIII site is located...

    2. A dominant allele H reduces the number of body bristles that Drosophila flies have, giving rise to a “hairless” phenotype. In the homozygous condition, H is lethal. An independently assorting dominant allele S has no effect on bristle number except in the presence of H, in which case a single dose of S suppresses the hairless phenotype, thus restoring the "hairy" phenotype. However, S also is lethal in the homozygous (S/S) condition. What ratio of hairy to hairless flies...
