Deletion 1: Genes bda are lost Deletion 2: Genes ac are lost Deletion 3: Genes ecf are lost The genes abcde are determined to be closely linked on the E.coli chromosome. Three random short deletions are created in the region, resulting in the removal of various genes as shown above. Which of the following gene orders is possible based on the deletion analysis? A. abcdef B. acbedf C. bdeacf D. dbacef

 A gal- bio- att- train of E.coli is transduced by P22 phages from a wild-type strain. Transductants are selected for by growing the cells with Galactose as the sole energy source. Replica-plating and testing for lysogenic ability gives the genotypes of 106 transformants:

A. B. C. D.

What is the gene order? Gene gal is in centre Gene Att in centre Gene bio in centre Cannot be determined

Find the centre gene?

Seven arginine-requiring mutants of E. coli were independently isolated. All pairwise matings were done (by transduction) to determine the number of loci (complementation groups) involved. If a (+) in the following gure indicates growth and a(-) no growth on minimal medium, how many complementation groups are involved?

6
A. B. C. D. The end result of F and F+ conjugation will be Both become F+ Both become F F+ turns into F and F into F+ They do not conjugate

After sometime Gauri did the same thing. At the end of this transaction each one of them had 24. Find the cars each originally had. Sudhir had 39 cars, Arvind had 21 cars and Gauri had 12 cars. Sudhir had 29 cars, Arvind had 11 cars and Gauri had 120 cars. Sudhir had 21 cars, Arvind had 39 cars and Gauri had 12 cars. Sudhir had 39 cars, Arvind had 12 cars and Gauri had 21 cars.
