Question

conjugation mapping question. There are two strains of bacteria, 1 is Hfr and other is F- and auxotropic for arginine, leucine, and histidine. Conjugation occurs for 2 minutes and then is stopped. All the recipients are now (F- Arg- Leu- His+). The experiment is repeated, with conjugation time 5 minutes, resulting in recipients (F- Arg+ Leu- His+). The experiment is repeated a third time for 8 minutes of conjugation with recipients (F- Arg+ Leu+ His+). What is the arrangement on the genome of the enzymes that synthesize each amino acid, wrt to the site of F plasmid integration?
