Which of the following statements about conjugation is false? After a F- cell has conjugated with an F+ cell, both cells would be F+. Both Hfr and F+ bacteria have the ability to produce a sex pilus. In F+ × F- conjugation, none of the bacterial chromosome is transferred; only the F factor is. A Hfr strain usually transfers the entire bacterial chromosome to the recipient cell. F' × F- conjugation can produce a partially diploid bacterial cell.

Which of the following statement about conjugation is TRUE: During F+ to F- mating, the donor becomes F-. During the Hfr to F- transfer, the recipient becomes F+. The whole bacteria genome may get transferred during Hfr mating. During the Hfr to F- transfer, some recipients become recombinants in which transferred fragment recombines with homologous region in the genome.
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?
The figure below shows a partial chromosome map of an E. coli Hfr strain. Each mark = 10 minutes between conjugation transfer time. If transfer of genes begins at “*” relative to the origin of transfer, what is one of the predicted results from this map? It would take less than 30 minutes to transfer all of the genes that are shown. gal and azi will rarely be transferred together. gal and ton will rarely be transferred together. Ten minutes after transfer of ton, lac will be transferred. This strain will produce very few gal recombinants.
An Hfr strain that is leuA+ and thiL+ was mixed with a strain thatis leuA− and thiL−. In the data points shown in the following graph,the conjugation was interrupted at different time points, and thepercentage of recombinants for each gene was determined bystreaking on a medium that lacked either leucine or thiamine.What information do you know based on the question and your understanding of the topic?
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. Do the data support the concept of circularity?Hfr Strain Order1 T C H R O2 H R O M B3 M O R H C4 M B A K T5 C T K A B
You 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, you plate the bacteria on minimal medium and observe a few prototrophic colonies (leu+ trp+ his+ met+). To determine whether gene transfer has occurred through conjugation, transformation, or transduction, you design an experiment in which you place filters between the two strains to see if gene transfer occurs. You set up three treatments:-Treatment A No filter, allowing contact between the bacterial strains-Treatment B Filter that blocks cells, but allows viruses and DNA through the filter-Treatment C Filter that blocks cells and viruses, but allows DNA through the filter When you check the results of your experiment, you find prototrophic colonies have occurred following treatments A and B, but not following treatment C. You conclude that gene transfer occurred through... Answer Choices Available: A) Conjugation B) Transformation C)…
An Hfr strain that is leuA+ and thiL+ was mixed with a strain thatis leuA− and thiL−. In the data points shown in the following graph,the conjugation was interrupted at different time points, and thepercentage of recombinants for each gene was determined bystreaking on a medium that lacked either leucine or thiamine.What is the map distance (in minutes) between these two genes?
E. 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. Determine the order of the three genes on the phage chromosome. b. Determine the map distances between the genes. c. Determine the coefficient of coincidence and the interference
In conjugation of a Hfr cell with an F- cell: a) the container cell becomes F + b) The container cell remains F- c) The donor cell becomes F- d) The recipient cell becomes Hfr
Three different Hfr donor strains are mixed with separate samples of an F− strain, and the following mapping data are provided from studies of interrupted conjugation: 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 Construct a genetic map for these genes, indicating their order on the bacterial chromosome and the distances between them.
In conjugation, when a bacterial F factor is transferred: the donor cell turns into a recipient cell the donor cell becomes F- chromosomal DNA is transferred in the mating the recipient cell becomes F- the recipient cell becomes F+
DNA from a strain of Bacillus subtilis with genotype a+ b+ c+ d+ e+ is used to transform a strain with genotype a– b– c– d– e–. Pairs of genes are checked for co-transformation and results shown below are obtained. Based on these results, what is the order of the genes on the bacterial chromosome? please show how you worked out the order by diagraming, thank you! Pair of genes Co-transformation a+ and b+ no a+ and c+ no a+ and d+ yes a+ and e+ yes b+ and c+ yes b+ and d+ no b+ and e+ no c+ and d+ no c+ and e+ yes d+ and e+ no
