Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interrupted mating is a technique used in bacterial genetics to determine the relative position of genes on a chromosome. It involves stopping conjugation or transduction at precise intervals to identify the order of genes on a chromosome. Therefore, interrupted mating is not used to inhibit transduction, generate loss of function alleles, or alter the genotype of the donor cell.
