Post by: Sodamafia on Jan 4, 2022
A competent bacterial strain that has the genotype a- b- c+ is transduced with a P1 phage carrying a fragment of donor chromosome with the a+ b+ c- alleles. The following number of transductants were found after screening for the selectable marker a+.

Transductant GenotypeNumber
a+ b- c+160
abc+360
abc-460
abc-20
Which of the following conclusions is false?

▸ The transduction frequency between a and b is 82%.

▸ The transduction frequency between a and c is 48%.

▸ Gene a and gene b are closer together than gene a and gene c.

▸ The gene order is acb.

▸ The selected marker screen will inhibit growth of transductants with the genotype a- b+ c-.
