A recipient gal- bio- attl- strain of E. coli is transduced by P1 phage from a donor wild-type gal+ bio+ attl+ strain. (attl- is a mutant which can't form a l prophage because the site for l integration is missing or defective.) gal+ transductants are selected for by plating the recipient cells on a Moderate with galactose as the sole carbon or energy source. Replica plating and testing for lysogenic ability give the complete genotypes of 106 transductants: Class 1:
Class 2:
Class 3:
Class 4: What is the frequency of cotransduction between gal and attl?
A) 33%
B) 25%
C) 8.5%
D) 67%
E) 46%
