A mutant strain of `T_4` – Bacteriophage, R-II, fails to lyse the E-Coli but when two strains `R-II^X` and `R-II^Y` are mixed then they lyse the E.Coli. What may be the possible reason : -

A

Bacteriophage transforms in wild

B

It is not mutated

C

Both strains have similar cistrons

D

Both strains have different cistons

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Two strains of `T_(4)` have different cistrons the codes for different proteins, which togther lyse the E.coli.

When a pure strain of tall plants (T/T) with round peas (R/R) is crossed with a pure strain of short plants(t/t) with wrinkled peas (r/r), a F_(1) -generationis produced. The alleles for short and wrinkled are recessive to those for tall and round, respectively. When these F_(1) plants self-pollinate, what proportion of the F_(1) plants self -pollinate, what proportion of the F_(2) -generation is short with wrinkled peas?
