Summary Introduction
To review:
The harmful and beneficial consequences of the homologous and site-specific recombination not occuring.
Introduction:
Genetic recombination is the process of formation of recombinant offspring from the parent. It mainly occurs in the pachytene stage of the prophase I of meiosis (cell division). The process is accompanied with the exchange of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) present on the homologous chromosomes.

- In each of the illustrations below, a segment of a chromosome has two copies of a transposable element. In panel a, they are oriented in the same direction, whereas in panel b they are in opposite directions. A double strand break occurs in element A and is repaired by homologous recombination using element B as a repair template. For each case, what will the chromosome look like after homologous recombination occurs? Choose one of the five options below, 1-5.arrow_forwardAn 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 twogenes.B. In a previous experiment, it was found that hisE is 4 minutesaway from pabB and that PheA is 17 minutes from pabB.

Millions of the irradiatedcells are plated on minimal medium, and a small number of cells divide and produce prototrophic colonies.These colonies are crossed individually with a wildtype strain. Two types of results are obtained:(1) prototroph × wild type : progeny all prototrophic(2) prototroph × wild type : progeny 75% prototrophic,25% adenine-requiring auxotrophsa.

You have isolated one revertant colony. Predict the expected proportion of the progeny that would be h+ if you cross the colony with the original mutant colony and the reversion occurred by each of the following mechanisms: Precise change of the mutated base back to its original base. A suppressor gene is mutated on a different chromosome A suppressor gene is mutated on the same chromosome but 10mu distant from the mutated gene. The mutant colony is crossed to a wild-type Neurospora colony and the following data are collected. 95% of all asci scored are h+ but 5% are h-.

- T. Miyake and M. Demerec examined proline-requiring mutations in the bacterium Salmonella typhimurium (). On the basis of complementation testing, they found four proline auxotrophs: proA, proB, proC, and proD. To determine whether proA, proB, proC, and proD loci were located close together on the bacterial chromosome, they conducted a transduction experiment. Bacterial strains that were proC+ and had mutations at proA, proB, or proD were used as donors. The donors were infected with bacteriophages, and progeny phages were allowed to infect recipient bacteria with genotype proC− proA+ proB+ proD+. The recipient bacteria werethen plated on a selective medium that allowed only proC+ bacteria to grow. After this, the proC+ transductants were plated on selective media to reveal their genotypes at the other three pro loci. The following results were obtained: Q.Why are there no proC− genotypes among the transductants?arrow_forwardT. Miyake and M.
