- When the interrupted mating technique was used with five different strains of Hfr bacteria, the following orders of gene entry and recombination were observed. On the basis of these data, draw a map of the bacterial chromosome.

- By conducting conjugation experiments between Hfr and recipientstrains, Wollman and Jacob mapped the order of many bacterialgenes. Throughout the course of their studies, they identified severaldifferent Hfr strains in which the F-factor DNA had been integratedat different places along the bacterial chromosome. A sample of theirexperimental results is shown in the table:Draw a map that shows the order of genes and the locations ofthe origins of transfer among these different Hfr strains?A group of genetics students mix two auxotrophic strains of bacteria: one is leu+ trp+ his− met− and the other is leu− trp− his+ met+. After mixing the two strains, they plate the bacteria on minimal medium and observe a few prototrophic colonies (leu+ trp+ his+ met+). They assume that some gene transfer has taken place between the two strains. How can they determine whether the transfer of genes is due to conjugation, transduction, or transformation?Using bacteriophage P22, you performed a threefactor cross in Salmonella typhimurium. The crosswas between an Arg− Leu− His− recipient bacteriumand bacteriophage P22, which was grown on an Arg+Leu+ and His+ strain. You selected for 1000 Arg+transductants and tested them on several selective media by replica plating. You obtained the followingresults:Arg+ Leu− His− 585Arg+ Leu− His+ 300Arg+ Leu+ His+ 114Arg+ Leu+ His− 1a. What are the cotransduction frequencies of argwith either his or leu?b. Is arg closer to his than it is to leu, or is arg closerto leu than it is to his? What are the relative mapdistances?c. Why can you not obtain an accurate cotransductionfrequency for his and leu from the data provided?d. What is the order of the three markers?e. Draw the crossovers that would produce the classwith only one transductant.f. Estimate the proportion of the 4.9 Mb S. typhimuriumgenome that contains these three genes. Assume thatbacteriophage P22 can package the same amountof DNA as the…
- Austin Taylor and Edward Adelberg isolated some new strains of Hfr cells that they then used to map several genes in E. coli by using interrupted conjugation . In one experiment, they mixed cells of Hfr strain AB-312, which were xyl+ mtl+ mal+ met+ and sensitive to phage T6, with F− strain AB-531, which was xyl− mtl− mal− met− and resistant to phage T6. The cells were allowed to undergo conjugation. At regular intervals, the researchers removed a sample of cells and interrupted conjugation by killing the Hfr cells with phage T6. The F− cells, which were resistant to phage T6, survivedand were then tested for the presence of genes transferred from the Hfr strain. The results of this experiment are shown in the accompanying graph. On the basis of these data, give the order of the xyl, mtl, mal, and met genes on the bacterial chromosome and indicate the minimum distances between them.As mentioned in question 2 of More Genetic TIPS, origins oftransfer can be located in many different places on a bacterial chromosome,and their direction of transfer can be clockwise or counterclockwise.Let’s suppose a researcher conjugated six differentHfr strains that were thr + leu + tons str r azis lac + gal + pro + met +to an F − strain that was thr − leu − tonr str s azir lac − gal − pro −met −, and obtained the following results: Draw a map of the circular E. coli chromosome that shows thelocations and orientations of the origins of transfer in these six Hfrstrains.Austin Taylor and Edward Adelberg isolated some new strains of Hfr cells that they then used to map several genes in Escherichia coli by using interrupted conjugation.
