Question

Please be very detailed and show step by step. Thank you.

You have a donor strain that is a+, b+, c+ and infect it with a phage. You take the phage and infect a strain of bacteria that are a-, b-, c-. In a transduction mapping experiment, you get the following results:

                        experiment        selected marker unselected marker

                                    1                      a+                    25% b+

                                    2                      a+                    3% c+

Draw the relative positions of a, b and c.

Explanation / Answer

Parents genotype is AABB and aabb

F1 Progeny genotype is AaBb

Test cross parents genotype is aabb,test cross parent is recessive.

AABB X   aabb               parents genotype

    AaBb                         F1

AaBb        X    aabb        test cross

AaBb    Aabb   aaBb    aabb     F2 progeny

Distance between A and B 15. 7 map unit,It means recombination frequency is 15.7 percent, so probability of recombinant progeny i.e Aabb and aaBb is 15. 7 %

probability of Aabb =15.5/2=7.85% and out of 3000, expected progeny of Aabb is 7.85/100*3000=235.5

probability of aaBb= 15.5/2=7.85 ,expected progeny of aaBb is 7.85/100*3000=235.5

probability of parental genotype =100-15.7=84.3% so out of 3000 progeny ,genotype of parental progeny=84.3/100*3000=2529

Expected progeny of genotype AABB is 2529/2=1264.5

Expected progeny of genotype aabb is 2529/2=1264.5

The cotransduction frequency of a+b+ is 25%

cotransduction frequency of a+c+ is 3%

It means gene a anb are closer

so the position of a, b and c is abc i.e    a-------b--------------c
