If lac+ Hfr bacteria mated with a lac- F- bacteria in an interrupted mating experiment, the F- bacteria will only gain the ability to metabolize lactose if a copy of the lac+ gene recombines with the F- bacteria’s chromosome. Why is recombination into the bacterial chromosome necessary? Recombination is required in order to convert the F- bacteria into Hfr bacteria capable of expressing the genes to metabolize lactose. Although the incoming DNA from the Hfr cell forms a circle, the lac+ locus is not active on a plasmid. Linear DNA is unstable in bacterial cells and unless the lac+ gene is recombined into the bacterial chromosome, it will be destroyed. Recombination is necessary to remove the lac- gene from the bacterial chromosome as this would interfere with the function of the lac+ gene from the Hfr cell. Recombination is required in order to convert the F- bacteria into F+ bacteria capable of expressing the genes to metabolize lactose.

The hershey and chase experiments involved the preparation of two different types of radioactively labeled phage. which of the following best explains why two preparations were required? a. the bacteriophage used in the experiments was a t2 phage. b. it was necessary that each of the two phage components, dna and protein, be identifiable upon recovery at the end of the experiment. c. each scientist had his own method for labeling phage, so each conducted the same experiment using a different isotope. d. establishing the identity of the genetic material required observation of two phage generations.
