Question

38 if the origin of transfer was located directly to the left of the gyra gene on this map of the e. coli chromosome, and gene transfer proceeded counterclockwise, how many minutes after the gyra gene was transferred would the hipa gene be transferred in an interrupted mating experiment? 2 points 00:55:34 multiple choice

Explanation:

Step1: Locate gyrA and hipA

gyrA is around 47 - 48 minutes mark, hipA is around 40 minutes mark.

Step2: Calculate time difference

Since transfer is counter - clockwise, we calculate 47 - 40 = 7 minutes.

Answer:

7
