Six of themutations in these phages are point mutations; theother three are deletions. The ability of the doubly infected cells to produce progeny phages in large numbers is scored in the following chart.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 91 − − + + − − − + +2 − + + − − − + +3 − − + − + − −4 − + − + − −5 − − − + +6 − − − −7 − + +8 − −9 −The same nine mutants were then used in pairwise infections of E. coli B hosts. The production of progenyphages that can subsequently lyse E. coli K(λ) hosts isnow scored. In the table, 0 means the progeny do notproduce any plaques on E. coli K(λ) cells; − meansthat only a very few progeny phages produce plaques;and + means that many progeny produce plaques(more than 10 times as many as in the − cases).1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 91 − + + + + − − + +2 − + + + + − + +3 0 − + 0 + + −4 − + − + + +5 − + − + +6 0 0 − +7 0 + +8 − +9 −a.

- How does recombination in bacteria differ from recombination in eukaryotes? 1) Recombination does not occur in prokaryotes 2) Only the plasmid DNA goes through recombination in prokaryotes 3) Sister chromatids, not homologous chromosomes, exchange information during recombination in prokaryotes 4) A portion of DNA from genome is replaced with homologous DNA from another strain of bacteria.arrow_forwardWith respect to F+ and F- bacterial matings, (a) How was it established that physical contact was necessary?

- What is the role of sex pili during conjugation?arrow_forwardE. 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.

- What does bacteriophage lambda cause?arrow_forwardBacterial cells were coinfected with two types of bacteriophage lambda: One carried the c+ allele and theother the c allele. After the cells lysed, progeny bacteriophage were collected. When a single such progeny bacteriophage was used to infect a new bacterialcell, it was observed in rare cases that some of theresulting phage progeny were c+ and others were c.Explain this result.arrow_forwardThe following are lambda phage gene deletions. What lambda lifestyle will result from each deletion? (The Greek letter delta Δ, when used in the name of a gene, stands for that gene deleted.) 1. ΔcII 2. Δcroarrow_forward
