E) deletion- mapping analysis only

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Seymour Benzer used genetic complementation analysis, intragenic recombination analysis, and deletion-mapping analysis to study the fine structure of genes in the rII region of the T4 bacteriophage. These methods allowed him to map mutations at a very high resolution, distinguishing between mutations within the same gene.
