Question
An Hfr strain that is lacZ" and galE" was mated to a strain that is lacZ and galE. The mating
was interrupted and the percentage of recombinants for each gene was determined by
streaking on plates that contain either lactose or galactose as the sole carbon source. The
following results were obtained:
30-
lacz
20
10-
galE
01
10
16 20 25 30

50
Duration of mating (minutes)
(i)
Determine the map distance (in minutes) between these two genes.
In a previous experiment, it was found that lacZ is 6 minutes away from gene hisB.
galE was shown to be 15 minutes from this gene. Draw a genetic map describing the
locations of all three genes.
(ii)
% of F recipient cells
that have received the
gene during conjugation
