Chapter 18, Problem 1DA
Summary Introduction

To determine: The possible combinations that allow constructing the physical map with only a few numbers of clones using the given figure.

Introduction: Physical maps give the absolute distance among genetic markers. They use genetic markers, which can show any noticeable variations between individuals. Here, the distance is measured in basepairs (bp).

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The fewest number of clones that could be used to construct the physical maps is clone A and clone C. The combination of using clone A, clone B, and clone D also allows to construct physical maps. However, it is better to have all the four clones (A, B, C, and D) to verify.
