Question

The map in the attached image was constructed using information from an interrupted mating experiment. Str # refers to the strain number from which the data was obtained. 1.) The strains that are referenced by the Str #'s on the map are considered to be ____________ strains. a. F' b.F- c. Hfr d. F+ 2.) The units for the map distance values on this map are: _____________. a. base pairs b. centimorgans c. minutes d. seconds e. kilobases 3.) Assume that 4 genes were transferred by each strain during an Interrupted Mating Experiment. Based on this map, list the order of transfer (FIRST to LAST) of the genes transferred by Str 4. Your answer should be letters that represent genes. _______

14 -Str. i Str2 str3

Explanation / Answer

1. Option D is correct.

The strains that are referenced by the Str #'s on the map are considered to be F+ strains.

2. Option C is correct.

The units for the map distance values on this map are minutes.

3. Based on the given map, the order of transfer (FIRST to LAST) of the genes transferred by Str 4 = X-M-A-L
