Transcribed Image Text:

P22 phage was used for generalized transduction by growing it on bacteria that were ala+, pro+ and tet. The recipient bacteria, which were ala-, pro- and tet were infected and incubated on two media: (1) minimal media with alanine, and (2) minimal with proline. Colonies that grew were then genotyped and the results are shown below: Media 1 (with alanine) Media 2 (with proline) ala tet 37% pro tet 84% ala" tet 0 % pro* tet 0 % ala" tet 63% pro" teť 16 % ala" tet 1 % pro* tet 2 % What is the gene order and which genes are closer together? Choose the best answer. Select one: O A. The gene order is: ala pro tet, tet is closer to ala than to pro. O B. The gene order is: pro tet ala; tet is closer to pro than to ala. O C. The gene order is: ala pro tet, tet is closer to ala than to pro. O D. The gene order is: pro ala tet, tet is closer to ala than to pro. O E. The gene order is: pro tet ala; tet is closer to ala than to pro. P22 phage was used for generalized transduction by growing it on bacteria that were ala+, pro+ and tet.
