Six mutants in the rII region of phage T4 were independently isolated.
Recombination to produce wild-type progeny occurred between all of these
mutants. Pairwise multiple infections of E.coli strain K12 were made
with the results shown below. (The number of phage particles used in
each multiple infection was approximately the same, and was constant
among experiments).
Number of
(a) Fill in a complementation table. Use “+” for complementation and
“0” for no complementation.
(b) How many genes are affected among all these mutant strains?
(c) Which mutants have mutations in the same gene(s)?

- Recombination in bacteria is defined. - A particular Hfr strain normally transmits the pro+ marker as the last one during conjugation. In a cross of this strain with an F- strain, some pro+ recombinants are recovered early in the mating p ...
- Complementation - You are handed six yeast strains: three strains (a, b, c) have a defect in the LEU1 complementation group, the other three (d, e, f) have defects in the LEU4 complementation group (LEU being an abbre ...

- Genetics - 1) In a tetrad analysis of a new ascomyete, you are observing a difference in phenotype between spores- some haploid spores are shaped like a square/cube (S) while other spores are round (r). when a ...
- Understanding recombination in bacteria and in viruses that infect bacteria. - A cross is made between Hfr met+ thi+ pur+ X F- met- thi- pur-. Interrupted-mating studies show that met+ enters the recipient last, so met+ exconjugants are selected on medium containing thi and p ...
