Question

Which can be accomplished by an interrupted mating experiment between Hfr and F- bacteria? Interrupted mating experiments can determine gene order on the Hfr bacterial chromosome. Interrupted mating experiments can determine the physical distance between genes on the F- bacterial chromosome. Interrupted mating experiments can determine the genome size of the Hfr bacteria. Interrupted mating experiments can determine the DNA sequence of the Hfr bacterial chromosome. Interrupted mating experiments can determine the gene order on the F- bacterial chromosome.

Answer 1

Answer:

Interrupted mating experiments can determine gene order on the Hfr bacterial chromosome.

Explanation:

Interrupted mating is a technique used in experiments involving microbiology. This experiment was created by geneticists François Jacob and Elie Wollman, in the late 1950s. This technique allows the mapping of the genes of the bacteria involved in the place where the conjugation was interrupted, within monitored and controlled time intervals. In this way, the technique allows showing the transfer mechanisms and the gene transfer itself.

In relation to the question above, we can say that the interrupted mating experiments can determine the order of the genes on the bacterial chromosome Hfr.
