- Concept 23. A gene is a discrete sequence of DNA nucleotides. This concept describes the discovery of the DNA sequencing technique that made modern biology and bioinformatics possible. The method was later used to sequence the human genome and genomes of many other organisms. This led to the accumulation of great numbers of nucleotide and protein sequences in the numerous databases. The concept 23 web page is here: http://www.dnaftb.org/23/ After reading the Concept page, answer the following questions. What was the Mendel’s definition of a gene? How was it different from the definition by Beadle and Tatum? Describe proteins based on the early sequencing efforts. What was the definition of a protein coding gene based on the genetic code?

You are interested in three genes in bacteriophage. The recessive mutant alleles cause plaque phenotypes that were creatively named fuzzy, shaky, and purple. Another lab published the following map of the three genes: fuzzy shaky 2.9 17.4 purple To verify the published map, you cross a purple shaky phage strain with a fuzzy phage strain by co- infecting E. coli at a high multiplicity of infection (every bacterium infected with both types of phage). You plate the resulting lysate and analyze the phenotypes of the plaques caused by the progeny phage. a. State the genotypes of the two parent phage strains: b.
