Urgently needed Two arginine requiring mutants arg-4 and arg-5 were isolated in Neurospora. When the strains were grown alone onmedia without arginine they do not grow. When they were crossed to each other, the diploid F1 could grow in theabsence of arginine. The table below shows whether mutants grow with the media supplemented with ornithine,citrulline, or arginine. (-- is no growth, + is growth). Answer the two following questions.Pathway: OrthinineCitrulline → ArginineMutantarg-5arg-4Media SupplementOrnithineCitrulline+Arginine++

Based on the table and pathway information you provided, here's how we can analyze the growth…

By conducting conjugation experiments between Hfr and recipientstrains, Wollman and Jacob mapped the order of many bacterialgenes. Throughout the course of their studies, they identified severaldifferent Hfr strains in which the F-factor DNA had been integratedat different places along the bacterial chromosome. A sample of theirexperimental results is shown in the following table:What information do you know based on the question and your understanding of the topic?

Two mutations that affect plaque morphology in phages (a− and b −) have been isolated. Phages carrying both mutations (a− b−) are mixed with wild-type phages (a+ b+) and added to a culture of bacterial cells. Once the phages have infected and lysed the bacteria, samples of the phage lysate are collected and cultured on plated bacteria. The following numbers of plaques are observed: Plaque phenotype Number a+ b+ 2043 a+ b− 320 a− b+ 357 a− b− 2134 What is the frequency of recombination between the a and b genes?

An Hfr strain that is leuA+ and thiL+ was mixed with a strain thatis leuA− and thiL−. In the data points shown in the following graph,the conjugation was interrupted at different time points, and thepercentage of recombinants for each gene was determined bystreaking on a medium that lacked either leucine or thiamine.What is the map distance (in minutes) between these two genes?
E. coli cells are simultaneously infected with two strains of phage λ. One strain has a mutant host range, is temperature sensitive, and produces clear plaques (genotype h st c); another strain carries the wildtype alleles (genotype h+ st+ c+). Progeny phages are collected from the lysed cells and are plated on bacteria. The following numbers of different progeny phages are obtained: Progeny phage genotype Number of plaques h+ c+ st+ 321 h c st 338 h+ c st 26 h c+ st+ 30 h+ c st+ 106 h c+ st 110 h+ c+ st 5 h c st+ 6 a.

A fluctuation test was carried out to determine the rate of mutation to Azetidine resistance (a toxic proline analog) in S. typhimurium. Twenty tubes of rich medium were each inoculated with a few wild-type cells and the cultures were grown to 10° cells / ml. A 0.1 ml sample of each culture was then plated on each plate (a total of 20 plates) to detect AztR mutants. The results are shown in the following table. Calculate the mutation rate of S. typhimurium to AztR. Culture # # AztR mutants Culture # # AztR mutants 11 12 3 4. 13 14 15 4. 30 303 97 69 14 16 17 18 19 20 10 19
In E. coli, four Hfr strains donate the following markers,shown in the order donated:Strain 1: M Z X W CStrain 2: L A N C WStrain 3: A L B R UStrain 4: Z M U R BAll these Hfr strains are derived from the same F+ strain.What is the order of these markers on the circularchromosome of the original F+?
Eight mutant bacteriophage strains cannot lyse a certain type of bacteria that can be lysed by wild-type bacteriophages. The mutant strains were allowed to infect the bacteria in a complementation test. A "+" indicates that lysis occurred with coinfection. A "-" indicates that lysis did not occur.

Two auxotrophic triple Escherichia coli strains (A: met- phe- ade- val+ bio+ thr+ and B: met+ phe+ ade+ val- bio- thr-) are mixed in LB liquid medium, diluted and then spread on LB solid rich medium. Six colonies are observed: Then, replicates are performed on 6 different media (minimum medium + glucose + indicated substances). The results are shown below. Determine the genotype of the 6 colonies observed. Which ones are from strain A? From strain B? Which hypotheses can explain these results and which one do you prefer? met phe val bio Abbreviations: met ade val thr phe ade bio thr Met: methionine; Phe: phenylalanine; Ade: adenine; Val: valine; Bio: biotin; Thr: threonine.
