The process of interrupted mating may be used to do which of the following?
A) Inhibit transduction
B) Convert the recipient cell to F+
C) Determine the relative position of bacterial genes
D) Alter the genotype of the donor cell

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interrupted mating involves stopping the transfer of genetic material during conjugation between bacteria. By stopping the transfer at different time intervals, the researcher can determine the relative position of bacterial genes on the chromosome. It is not used to inhibit transduction, convert recipient cells to F+, or alter the genotype of the donor cell.
