In and interrupted mating experiment, it is seem that the after 10 mins Azi^R gene in recipient, after 20 minuites there is appearance of ton^Rand after 15 mins the recipient is lac^+ , but the recipient is almost never his^+.Where in the genome is the ori of transfer?(a) Between Azi^R and Ton^R genes(b) Between Ton^R and Lac^+(c) Between Lac^+ and His^+(d) Between His^+ and Azi^RI had been asked this question during an interview for a job.This is a very interesting question from Gene Mapping in Bacteria by Conjugation topic in section Genomics : The Mapping and Sequencing of Genomes of Cytogenetics

Answer»

Right ANSWER is (d) Between His^+ and Azi^R

The best EXPLANATION: As the origin of TRANSFER is between His^+ and Azi^R the sequence follows Azi^R, ->Ton^R->Lac^+->His^+ or the reverse direction. Thus, longer TIME is required for His to enter and in most cases before that the conjugation tube breaks.
