Gene Transfer Between Bacteria
CoreSKILL » The gene transfer seen in the Lederberg and Tatum experiment could have occurred in one of two ways: by bacteria taking up DNA released into the environment or by contact between two bacterial cells that allowed for direct transfer. Davis conducted an experiment to determine the correct process. Explain how his results indicated the correct gene transfer process.

The terms conjugation, transduction, and transformation are usedto describe three different natural forms of genetic transferbetween bacterial cells. Briefly discuss the similarities and differencesamong these processes?
BICD100 HW6 Prokaryotic Genetics
Question 1. You are interested in three genes in bacteriophage. The recessive mutant alleles cause
plaque phenotypes that were creatively named fuzzy, shaky, and purple. Another lab published the
following map of the three genes:
fuzzy shaky
2.9
17.4
purple
To verify the published map, you cross a purple shaky phage strain with a fuzzy phage strain by co-
infecting E. coli at a high multiplicity of infection (every bacterium infected with both types of phage).
You plate the resulting lysate and analyze the phenotypes of the plaques caused by the progeny phage.
a. State the genotypes of the two parent phage strains:
b. List all eight of the possible phenotypes that could result from this cross. If 400 phage plaques were
examined from this cross, how many plaques of each of the eight phenotypic classes would you expect?
Droplet based single cell DNA sequencing uses a microfluidic platform which
generates droplets encapsulating individual cells. A micrograph of such a device
[Zilionis et al, Nature Protocols 2016] is presented in Figure Q3. The channels are
25 μm deep.
