Solutions For An Introduction to Genetic Analysis Chapter 5 Problem 27P

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution 1

An experiment to test the validity of this assumption can be done by picking two Hfr (high frequency recombination) strains that are near the genes but oriented in opposite directions. The time taken for transfer of genetic material between two specific genes is measured when they are transferred early and in the other case when they are transferred late.

For example,

Picture 2

In the given figure, the two recombination bacterial strains are seen oriented in opposite directions. The validity of assumption can be tested by measuring the time taken for the transfer of genetic material between these two bacterial recombination strains.
