Second, Question 2 

In E. coli, the genes for histidine (his), arginine (arg), tyrosine (tyr), and valine (val)
synthesis are closely linked. A wild-type strain is used as a donor for transducing
viruses. Various recipient strains were treated with these viruses. Wild-type
recombinant colonies were then counted, with the results shown in the following
table.
