Figure 17.2
The accompanying figure above shows the distances between genes in minutes. Assume that the time listed between two genes corresponds to the transfer time of the first of the two genes in the pair. Use the figure to answer questions 29-32.

B) The donor cell was F-.
C) The donor cell produced an abnormal sex pilus.
D) All of the genes could not fit through the sex pilus at one time.
E) The sex pilus was broken before the rest of the genes could be transferred.
