Jump to... CalculatorPeriodic Table of 15 9 Suppose scientists study mutant bacterial strains of Staphylococcus aureus to find the order of the genes Map th for tetracycline resistance (gene T), streptomycin resistance (gene S), erythromycin resistance (gene E), and penicillin resistance (gene P). They extract DNA from bacterial strains with one or more of these mutations and transform wild-type bacterial cells (s", E. T. P') with the DNA. Transformant | % of all genotype cells PSET 20 PSET 10 PSET 10 Given that the P mutation is first, indicate the order of these bacterial genes within the genome according to the transformation experiment results. gene P 2 PSET PSE T PSET gene T gene S gene E

Explanation / Answer

Maximum percentage of cells coressponds to the the transformed cells with that mutant genotype.

order of genes--- P, T, S , E
