Question

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 b
