In a mating of: Hfr pro+  tpr+  ile his +  tet-s   F- pro- trp ile-  his-   tet-r,

cells are interrupted after several minutes and plated on the different media containing various amino acids shown below. The tet marker is known to be transferred very late and is used as a counterselected marker. The amino acids in the growth media and the number of colonies observed each as follows:

             proline + tryptophan + isoleucine           440 colonies    

                        histidine + tryptophan + isoleucine         290 colonies

                        proline + isoleucine + histidine              105 colonies

                        histidine + tryptophan + proline             165 colonies

What is the order of gene transfer (1st 2nd 3rd   4th)?

A.pro trp ile his

B.trp his  pro ile

C.his ile pro trp

D.his pro ile trp

E.ile trp his pro

Answer - D.his pro ile trp

Step-by-step explanation

The proline + tryptophan + isoleucine shows higher colonies 440. So without histidine

we got 440 colonies. So, histidine enter the first in F-.

 

In histidine + tryptophan + isoleucine shows second highest colonies 290.

So without Proline we got 290 colonies. So, proline enter the second in F-.

 

In histidine + tryptophan + proline shows third highest colonies 165.

So without Ile we got 165 colonies. So, Ile enter the third in F-.

 

In proline + isoleucine + histidine shows final lowest colonies 105.

So without Trp we got 105 colonies. So, trp enter the finally in F-.
