DNA from a strain of bacteria with genotype a+ b+ c+ d+ e+ was isolated and used to transform a strain of bacteria that was a− b− c− d− e−. The transformants were tested for the presence of donated genes. The following genes were cotransformed: a+ and d+ b+ and e+ c+ and d+ c+ and e+ What is the order of genes a, b, c, d, and e on the bacterial chromosome?

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
