In the course of a study on the effects of the mechanical shearing of DNA, Eugene Nester, A. T. Ganesan, and Joshua Lederberg studied the transfer, by transformation, of sheared DNA from a wild-type strain of Bacillus subtilis (his,* aroz" tyr2* aro, tyri aro,*) to strains of bacteria carrying a series of mutations (E. W. Nester, A. T. Ganesan, and J. Lederberg. 1963. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 49:61-68). They reported the following rates of cotransformation between his, and the other genes (expressed as cotransfer rate). Genes Rate of cotransfer his,* and aroz* 0.015 his,* and tyr2 0.10 his,* and aro," 0.12 his,* and tyr,* 0.23 his,* and aro," 0.05 On the basis of these data, which gene is farthest from his,*? Which gene is closest?

The answer bank only has one 9 minute option, therefore 9 minutes can only be used once. Is it possible that there is a mistake in the above solution?
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 co-transformation and results shown below are obtained. Based on these results, what is the order of the genes on the bacterial chromosome? please show how you worked out the order by diagraming, thank you! Pair of genes Co-transformation a+ and b+ no a+ and c+ no a+ and d+ yes a+ and e+ yes b+ and c+ yes b+ and d+ no b+ and e+ no c+ and d+ no c+ and e+ yes d+ and e+ no
DNA is extracted from the blood cells of two different humans, individuals 1 and 2. In separate experiments, the DNA from each individual is cleaved by restriction endonucleases A, B, and C, and the fragments are separated by electrophoresis. A hypothetical map of a 10,000 bp (base pair) segment of a human chromosome is shown (1 kbp= 1,000 bp). Individual 2 has point mutations that eliminate restriction recognition sites B* and C*. After the 10kbp segment is digested with each restriction endonuclease A, B, and C one by one, samples are loaded onto an agarose gel for electrophoresis for analysis. I would like you to draw the result of gel electrophoresis. To answer the question, first, draw the whole gel image (on the right) on your answer sheet, then indicate where you expect to see the bands on the gel. (Hint1: Same-size bands will appear at the same position. Hint 2: On the gel bands from individuals 1 and 2 might be at different positions.) The left lane (with an M label on the…
After mutagenesis of wild type Vibrio fisheri, you isolate two different mutant strains (A and B) that, unlike the wild type cells, fail to luminesce when grown to high density in a flask with appropriate medium. Curiously, however, when you inoculate both mutant strains in the same flask, you observe that the mixed (A+B) culture begins to emit light after growing dense. a) What gene/functions are likely affected in each of the two mutants? b) How does this explain their phenotypes?

To determine the reproducibility of mutation fre-quency measurements, you do the following experiment.You inoculate each of 10 cultures with a single E. coli bac-terium, allow the cultures to grow until each contains 106cells, and then measure the number of cells in each culturethat carry a mutation in your gene of interest. You were sosurprised by the initial results that you repeated the experi-ment to confirm them. Both sets of results display the sameextreme variability, as shown in Table Q5–1. Assuming thatthe rate of mutation is constant, why do you suppose thereis so much variation in the frequencies of mutant cells indifferent cultures?
You have a leu auxotroph strain of e. coli. You suspect that if you mutagenize this strain, you can isolate prototrophic revertants. You irradiate these cells to generate mutants.
