T. Miyake and M. Demerec examined proline-requiring mutations in the bacterium Salmonella typhimurium (). On the basis of complementation testing, they found four proline auxotrophs: proA, proB, proC, and proD. To determine whether proA, proB, proC, and proD loci were located close together on the bacterial chromosome, they conducted a transduction experiment. Bacterial strains that were proC+ and had mutations at proA, proB, or proD were used as donors. The donors were infected with bacteriophages, and progeny phages were allowed to infect recipient bacteria with genotype proC− proA+ proB+ proD+. The recipient bacteria werethen plated on a selective medium that allowed only proC+ bacteria to grow. After this, the proC+ transductants were plated on selective media to reveal their genotypes at the other three pro loci. The following results were obtained:
Q.Which genotypes represent single transductants and which represent cotransductants?
