DNA from a strain of Bacillus subtilis with genotype a* b* c* d* e* is used to transform a strain with genotype a b c d e. Pairs of genes are checked for cotransformation, and the following results are obtained: Pair of genes Cotransformation Pair of genes Cotransformatic a* and b* No b* and d* No a* and c* No b* and e* Yes a* and d* Yes c* and d* No a* and e* Yes c* and e* Yes b* and c* Yes d* and e* No On the basis of these results, what is the order of the genes on the bacterial chromosome?

E. coli cells are simultaneously infected with two strains of phage λ. One strain has a mutant host range, is temperature sensitive, and produces clear plaques (genotype h st c); another strain carries the wildtype alleles (genotype h+ st+ c+). Progeny phages are collected from the lysed cells and are plated on bacteria. The following numbers of different progeny phages are obtained: Progeny phage genotype Number of plaques h+ c+ st+ 321 h c st 338 h+ c st 26 h c+ st+ 30 h+ c st+ 106 h c+ st 110 h+ c+ st 5 h c st+ 6 a.

In five Hfr strains, each of which was used to build a time-of-transfer map, the genes entered the recipient cells as follows: Strain 1: S L A C T F Strain 2: N P F T C A Strain 3: T F P N U Y Strain 4: S H Y U N P Strain 5: U N P F T C Which of the following represents a correct gene map of these results?

Linkage maps in an Hfr bacterial strain are calculated in units of minutes (the number of minutes between genes indicates the length of time that it takes for the second gene to follow the first in conjugation). In making such maps, microbial geneticists assume that the bacterial chromosome is transferred from Hfr to F − at a constant rate. Thus, two genes separated by 10 minutes near the origin end are assumed to be the same physical distance apart as two genes separated by 10 minutes near the F −attachment end. Suggest a critical experiment to test the validity of this assumption.
You discover a new bacteria and are interested in mapping its genome with respect to 10 genes. You are able to infer time-of-entry maps for four Hfr strains, which are pictured below. What is the map of the bacterial genome based on these Hfr experiments?

Four E. coli strains of genotype a+ b- are labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4. Four strains of genotype a- b+ are labeled 5, 6, 7, and 8. The two genotypes are mixed in all possible combinations and (after incubation) are plated to determine the frequency of a+ b+ recombinants. The following results are obtained, where M = many recombinants, L = low numbers of recombinants, and 0 = no recombinants:On the basis of these results, assign a sex type (either Hfr, F+, or F-) to each strain.
You are using the restriction enzyme HAEIII to digest different samples of the taster gene isolated from cheek cells of different people and amplified by PCR. When viewing the bands on the electrophoresis gel, one would expect that a taster (homozygote) would have---------band(s), whereas a carrier (heterozygote) would show--------band(s), and a non-taster would show------band(s).

In an analysis of five rII mutants, complementation testing yielded the following results:
In E. coli, the gene bioD+ encodes an enzyme involved in biotin synthesis, and galK+ encodes an enzyme involved in galactose utilization. An E. coli strain that contained wild-type versions of both genes was infected with P1 phage, and then a P1 lysate was obtained. This lysate was used totransduce (infect) a strain that was bioD− and galK−. The cellswere plated on a medium containing galactose as the sole carbonsource for growth to select for transduction of the galK+ gene.This medium also was supplemented with biotin. The resultingcolonies were then restreaked on a medium that lacked biotin tosee if the bioD+ gene had been cotransduced. The following resultswere obtained:What information do you know based onthe question and your understanding of the topic?
