Question

GENETICS: Explain my results
@shrutipande9

Answer 1

Bacterial cells were coninfected with two types of bacteriophage lambda: One carried a c+ allele and the other the c allele. After the cells lysed, progeny bacterioophage was used to infect a new bacterial cell. It was observed in rare cases that some of the resulting progeny were c+ and others were c.

Explain this result :)

Answer 2

i guess dis bacteriophage was lysogenic type in which the gentic material gets integrated...once genetic material of 1 phage has been integrated it doesnt allow d other to integrate....even though it has entered d cell it would remain as an uncombined entity and wud b degraded...so its a matter of chance which gets integrated....c+ or c

Answer 3

am i right?

Answer 4

Correct. Or you can say there a recombination has occurred. But I guess you say the same? :)

Answer 5

ohh yes...integration of the phage genome into the bacterial genome occurs via recombination..:)

Answer 6

thank u...and yes..dis was 100% me..:P ^_^

Answer 7

I thought so :)
