Which of the following statements about using transduction f

Which of the following statements about using transduction for mapping genes on the bacterial chromosome are true? Check all that apply Genes that are located close to one another on the chromosome have a higher probability of being transduced together. Transduction mapping is based on the fact that phages can transfer two genes simultaneously. Transduction mapping can be used to determine the order of several genes. Transduction studies require the direct contact between bacterial cells.

Solution

1. Genes which are located close to each other on a chromosome, have higher probability of being treansduced together.

2. Transduction mapping can be used to determine order of several genes.

Transduction is a method of horizontal gene transfer in bacteria. it can be generalised or specialised transduction. By interuupted transduction experiment, gene mapping of bacteria is done.
