Question: To further define the location of the his mutation, the mutant strain was used as a recipient in a bacteriophage P1 transduction experiment. Which, if any, of the genes would you expect to be cotransduced with the his+ allele of the gene, given that phage P1 can package about 1% of the E.coli chromosomal DNA? Note that E. coli chromosome contains 4.6 million nucleotide pairs and that transfer of the entire chromosome during conjugation takes 100 minutes.
