Summary Introduction

To determine:

The gene that is present in the middle when interrupted conjugation was used to map three genes in E.coli. The donor genes first appeared in the recipient cells at the times: gal, 10 minutes, his, 8minutes; pro, 15 minutes.

Introduction:

The bacterial genes can be map by using conjugation in which they are mixed Hfr and F- cells of different genotypes and interrupting conjugation at regular intervals. The relative position of the genes on the bacterial chromosomes is identified by the amounts of time required for individual genes to be transferred from the Hfr to the F- cells.

Students have asked these similar questions
a) What type of bond does helicase break? b) Which of these two types of bonds is stronger? c) Describe why it is necessary for the lagging strand to be made in fragments, called Okazaki fragments.
a) How are the model single nucleotides structurally different than real-life dNTPs? b)If you wanted to make these DNA nucleotides into RNA nucleotides, what could you do to them? c)Name the type of bond that is being formed by DNA Polymerase III.
You will be building a double-stranded DNA molecule, representing a short (20 base) sequence that could be found in a chromosome.  It will have a 3' --> 5' strand and a 5' --> 3' strand. Use two full 12-base-pair DNA models.  a) Upload a picture of your model reflecting the Initiation phase of DNA replication.  b) Upload a picture of your model once it has entered the Elongation phase of DNA replication, showing the action of Primase. c)Upload a picture of your model once it has entered the Elongation phase of DNA replication, showing the action of DNA Polymerase III.
