- How does homologous recombination with transfected disruption constructs can inactivate specific target genes in yeast? Explain this with the help of figure.arrow_forwardYou have a strain of Neurospora that is unable to synthesize histidine and thus requires H in the media in order to grow. You have isolated one revertant colony. Predict the expected proportion of the progeny that would be h+ if you cross the colony with the original mutant colony and the reversion occurred by each of the following mechanisms: Precise change of the mutated base back to its original base. A suppressor gene is mutated on a different chromosome A suppressor gene is mutated on the same chromosome but 10mu distant from the mutated gene. The mutant colony is crossed to a wild-type Neurospora colony and the following data are collected. 95% of all asci scored are h+ but 5% are h-. Which mechanism in part a is consistent with these data? Explain why and what has happened on a molecular level.arrow_forwardIn this gene order question, would the order be a/b -- kf -- nm since genes with shorter map unit distances are closely linked?arrow_forward

- Crosses are carried out between a bacterial F- strain and three different Hfr strains. In these strains, it takes 60 minutes for an Hfr strain to transfer the entire chromosome. Below are the data generated from interrupted mating experiments. Time of transfer of different genes (in minutes) is given for each strain. Appearance of genes in F- cells Hfr1: Genes b+ d+ c+ f+ g+ Time 3 5 16 27 59 Hfr2: Genes e+ f+ c+ d+ b+ Time 6 24 35 46 48 Hfr3 Genes d+ c+ f+ e+ g+ Time 4 15 26 44 58 Based on these data, you could conclude that Group of answer choices b is between g and d and is 4 minutes from g e is between f and g and is 25 minutes from g g is between e and b and is 24 minutes from e none of these is correct d is between b and c and is 10 minutes from barrow_forwardE. 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.
