Question

During the course of his experiments. Seymour Benzer discovered over 20.000 mutations in the rit region of T4 bacteriophage. He classified the mutations into two categories: 1) revertible mutants (which result from point mutations), and 2) nonrevertible mutants which result from deletion mutations Fourni partial deletion mutations were tested for their ability to complement five point mutants Use the data in this table to place the point mutants in order on the ill deletion gte map below. Note: A plus sign indicates complementation and a minus sign indicates no complementation) Deletion Deletion Deletion Deletion Point Mutant Mutant Mutant Mutant 101 D2 D3 04 A Mutant B + C - D D1 D2 2 4 D3 5 6 7 D4 8 9 The map above shows the different mutants aligned with the best showing the locations of the different mutations Atter the correctiletter in the numbered bank provided under the mutant This is an art so the letters will be used more than once on the locus shown Tor OF1. point mutation Als shown in its correctlocation to you started

Answer 1

Answer:- 1) No complementation of A and Eby Di, which means A and E are present togelties. (EA). 2) No complementation of A, B and E by D2, therefore, these 3 will lie together. But A and E should be present together as they were not initially Complemented by Di. (EA EB) 3) D3 does not complement B.c and b that means c and D are present after B (EAEBBDC) 4) Dr does not complement B and E that means Bant E are presurt together (EA EBB DCOD) so, 1 = E, 2 = A, 3=E, 4 =B, 5=B. 6-0, 7-5, 8=8 9= D. == please rate my Answer
