Can derivatives of current antimicrobials be the answer to solving infections that are treated by beta-lactams?
We discussed in class that beta-lactams have become resistant against microbes because they have developed the ability to alter protein receptors making beta-lactams unable to bind. This article discusses a new antimicrobial that would attack against Streptomyces cattleya. Penems the new development contains a "sulfur atom within the ring" allowing binding. This "high affinity for penicillin receptors" allows the halt of bacterial growth. These have been a solution with vast research in recent developments the past 25 years because it is only "slightly susceptible to hydrolysis by type I cephalosporinases."

30) A homozygous groucho fly (g, bristles about the eye) is crossed with a homozygous rough fly (r, eye abnormality). The F1 females are test crossed to a groucho, rough fly. The following data was obtained.
514 Groucho
466 Rough
11 Groucho, rough
9 Wild type
Are these genes linked? Is the F1 in coupling or repulsion phase. Draw out the heterozygous parents genotype on chromosomes.

A heterozygous plant (R D Y/r d y) is crossed with a testcross parent (r d y/r d y) :
how many double cross over progeny would be expected in a progeny of 1000 if there were no interference?
What is the interference if there are 50 DCOs?
B= brown body, b = black body, N = non-waxy wings, n = waxy wings, R = red eyes, r = cinnabar eyes
What is the order of the genes?
What is the recombination frequency for each gene pair?
Draw a map with the genes listed and the correct map units.
Is there interference? If so what is the value.
