Question

In an experiment of determining the order of gene in bacteria we use HFR which is gal+, Lac+, Ara+ and His+. If the recipient is negative for all these genes, and we selectively choose Gal + and get the pattern-

100 % recipients are Gal +
30% are His+
55% are Lac +
And only 5% are Ara+

What would be our inference?

a.

Sequence of gene is Gal—Lac—His—Ara

b.

As we are just selecting one gene we can’t tell the sequence

c.

The HFR was incorporated between Gal and His only

d.

The recipient selectively incorporated some genes
