Question 3

Match between columns
                        Premises: Contains genes that regulate conjugation and the transfer of DNA from one cell to another.
Always acts as the recipient in conjugation.
F factor is integrated into the host chromosome.
Cannot form a pilus.
F factor is in the plasmid form carrying a segment of chromosomal DNA.

Accepted Answer

The Answer of Hfr and F+ and F′ and F– is...

Question 4

Strain A of E.coli is auxotrophic for methionine,while strain B is auxotrophic for lysine.Both strains are F-.You want to produce a strain that is prototrophic.Design an experiment to produce the desired prototroph.Include in your experimental design your screening method for detecting the prototroph.

Accepted Answer

Since both strains are F^-,a conjugation e
