Mapping genes by conjugation can be performed by interrupted-mating experiments in which conjugation is physically disrupted at 1-minute intervals.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interrupted-mating experiments involve physically separating mating bacterial cells at specific time intervals to map the location of genes based on the time it takes for genetic material to be transferred from one cell to another during conjugation.
