Question

An Hfr strain that is hisE + and pheA + was conjugated to a strain that is hisE − and pheA −. The conjugation was interrupted at different times, and the percentage of recombinants for each gene was determined by streaking on media that lacked either histidine or phenylalanine. The following results were obtained:

 

A. Determine the map distance (in minutes) between these two
genes.
B. In a previous experiment, it was found that hisE is 4 minutes
away from pabB and that PheA is 17 minutes from pabB. Draw
a genetic map showing the locations of all three genes.
