Summary Introduction

a.

To draw:

The map that shows relative positions of markers and origins of transfer in HfrA and HfrB strains and also the distance between these markers.

Introduction:

Genetic markers are the genes that are identifiable through phenotypic variants. These markers serve as a point of reference in deciding whether the progeny is the result of recombination.

Summary Introduction

b.

To draw:

The order of the genes based on the given cotransduction data.

Introduction:

Cotransduction refers to the transfer of different bacterial genes together in one phage by transduction process.

Summary Introduction

c.

To determine:

The way an individual increases the chances of mapping gly gene relative to at least some of the other markers and the composition of the medium that would be used to map gly.

Introduction:

Tranductants refer to the cells resulting from the gene transfer. Transduction process is mainly mediated by bacteriophages.

Schizosaccharomyces pombe, also known as "fission yeast," is a powerful model organism in molecular and cell biology. While performing a genetic screen, you discover an auxotrophic S. pombe strain that is unable to synthesize one or more vitamins. The following table represents the key experiments you performed during your genetic screen. Fill in the table with the outcome of each experiment for your mutant strain (using + for growth and - for no growth). Medium Rich media Minimal media Minimal media + all vitamins Minimal media + all amino acids Growth Wild-type + + + + Mutant + + + > > >
A number of auxotrophic mutant strains were isolated from wild-type haploid Neurospora crassa. These strains responded to the addition of certain nutritional supplements to minimal culture medium either by growth (+) or no growth (0) The data from this experiment are presented in the table below. Diagram a biochemical pathway, complete with positions of intermediates, that is consistent with the data. Indicate where in the pathway each mutant strain is blocked.
Which gene encodes the enzyme at the upper boxed step in the pathway?   Which gene encodes the enzyme at the upper boxed step in the pathway? gene 1 gene 2 gene 3 gene 4
