Four Hfr strains are derived from an F+ strain of E. Coli to serve as donors for an interrupted-mating experiment. Use the time-table and partial map of the F+ strain (shown below) to determine the genes’ respective positions. Keep in mind that the map distances are NOT proportional, only the FIRST 5 markers are indicated per strain, and the entry times, recorded in minutes, are in parentheses. Transferred genes represent wild-type alleles. Based on the data, which gene can be located at position 5 on the map?

In a transformation experiment, donor DNA was obtained from aprototroph bacterial strain (a+b+c+), and the recipient was a tripleauxotroph (a-b-c-).

In your laboratory, you have an F− strain of E. coli that is resistantto streptomycin and is unable to metabolize lactose, but it can metabolizeglucose. Therefore, this strain can grow on a medium thatcontains glucose and streptomycin, but it cannot grow on a mediumcontaining lactose. A researcher has sent you two E. colistrains in two separate tubes. One strain, let’s call it strain A, hasan F′ factor (an F prime factor) that carries the genes that are requiredfor lactose metabolism. On its chromosome, it also has thegenes that are required for glucose metabolism. However, it is sensitiveto streptomycin. This strain can grow on a medium containinglactose or glucose, but it cannot grow if streptomycin is addedto the medium. The second strain, let’s call it strain B, is an F−strain. On its chromosome, it has the genes that are required forlactose and glucose metabolism. Strain B is also sensitive to streptomycin.Unfortunately, when strains A and B were sent to you, thelabels had fallen…
