Exercise 39

Let's suppose a new strain of P1 has been identified that packages larger pieces of the E. coli chromosome. This new P1 strain packages pieces of the E. coli chromosome that are 5 minutes long. If two genes are 0.7 minutes apart along the E. coli chromosome, what would be the cotransduction frequency using a normal strain of P1 and using this new strain of P1 that packages large pieces What would be the experimental advantage of using this new P1 strain
