Question: The generalized-transduction phage P1 is grown in a pur- pro+ thi+ donor strain. A recipient strain that is pur+ pro- thi- is infected and the donor allele thi+ is selected after transduction. 100 thi+ transductants are then scored for the other alleles. The results are shown below:
pro+ pur- 94
pro+ pur+ 62
pro- pur+ 34
pro- pur- 10
A) What is the cotransduction frequency of thi and pro?
B) What is the cotransduction frequency of thi and pur?
C) From these cotransduction frequencies, what is the gene order?
