Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct order of gene transfer during bacterial conjugation is determined by the time it takes for each gene to be transferred. The genes transferred first are closest to the origin. Thus, the order is arg (8 minutes), leu (10 minutes), amp (12 minutes), str (15 minutes), making the correct order arg-leu-amp-str.
