A Hfr strain possessing the markers His+ Met+ Tyr+ Strs was mated with a F– strain possessing the markers His– Met–Tyr– Strr.The time of entry for each marker is shown below.

Donor Marker   Time (min)

his+ 21
met+ 12
tyr+ 46

a. Based on the results draw a map of the Hfr chromosome. Indicate the position of the F element, and the first marker to be transferred.

b. On what type of plates were cells grown to determine the above information?

Ans:

a. If the marker takes less time, it is the first marker that enters into the recipient cell and cloest to F element. So, according to data, met+ is the first marker incorporated into recipient cell, followed by his+ and tyr+. So, the marker order is -F-met+-his+-tyr+. A drawing of map of the Hfr chromosome is given below-

b.

After 21 minutes, the cells grown on plate of minimal medium that lacks histidine and present of streptomycin (his- Strr)/ plate of minimal medium that lacks methionine and histidine and present of streptomycin (met- his- Strr).

After 12 minutes, the cells grown on plate of minimal medium that lacks methionine and present of streptomycin (met- Strr).

After 46 minutes, the cells grown on plate of minimal medium that lacks tyrosine and is streptomycin resistant (his- Strr)/ plate of minimal medium that lacks methionine, histidine and tyrosine and present of streptomycin (met- his- tyr- Strr).

Deduce the sequence of a heptapeptide that contains the amino acids Gly, His, Tyr, Ser, Ala, Met, and Arg, from the following experimental data. Edman degradation cleaves Ala from the heptapeptide, and carboxypeptidase forms His and a hexapeptide. Treatment of the heptapeptide with chymotrypsin forms a hexapeptide and a single amino acid. Treatment of the heptapeptide with trypsin forms a pentapeptide and a dipeptide. Partial hydrolysis forms His, Ala, Tyr, and the tripeptides Ser-Gly-Met and Gly-Met-Arg. 7 amino acids total
