Mutations rII1 and rII2 are known to fall into the rIIA and rIIB cistrons (genes) respectively. Cells of E. coli B are infected
simultaneously with phage strains rII1 and rII2 at a high moi. The progeny phage are collected and used to infect cells of E. coli K. This infection is also carried out at a high m.o.i., and the resulting phage are collected. These progeny are diluted and plated on both E. coli B and E. coli K. Do you expect more plaques on strain B, on strain K, an equal amount on both or is it impossible to tell? A. E. coli B
B. E. coli K
C. Equal on both
D. Can't tell
The multiplicity of infection (MOI) refers to the ratio between the numbers of viruses used to infect <em>E. coli</em> cells and the numbers of these <em>E. coli </em>cells. Benzer carried out several experiments in order to define the gene in regard to function. Benzer observed that <em>E. coli </em>strains with point mutations could be classified into two (2) complementary classes regarding coinfection using the restrictive strain as the host. With regard to his experiments, Benzer observed that rII1 and rII2 mutants (rapid lysis mutants) are complementary when they produce progeny after coinfect E. coli K (where neither mutant can lyse the host by itself). The rII group of mutants studied by Benzer does not produce plaques on <em>E. coli</em> K strains that carry phage λ (lysogenic for λ), but they produce plaques on <em>E. coli</em> B strains. This study showed that rIIA and rIIB are different genes and/or cistrons in the rII region.
In many ways, glasses are like ceramics and have all of their properties: durability, strength and brittleness, high electrical and thermal resistance, and lack of chemical reactivity.
Major types include fats and oils, waxes, phospholipids, and steroids. Fats are a stored form of energy and are also known as triacylglycerols or triglycerides. Fats are made up of fatty acids and either glycerol or sphingosine.
