Question
Each of the three different Hfr strains in the table below (A, B and C) arose independently
and possess the same markers. Each of the three Hfr strains was separately mixed with the
same F strain carrying the alternative markers. Conjugation was interrupted at various times
after mixing over a period of 95 minutes. The bacteria were then plated on the appropriate
media and recipients scored for various Hfr markers. The times (in minutes after mixing) at
which recombinants carrying particular donor markers first appear, and therefore the times at
which these first enter the F- cell and then integrate into the recipient genome, are shown
below:
