Practice question
Question
The origin of the Escherichia coli chromosome on the genetic map is shown below. Bidirectional replication is a feature of this system and both replication forks move at the same rate. Which one of the following sequences of replication of the genes is correct?
Explanation
In genetics, Mendelian segregation dictates that allele distribution and recombination generate phenotypic variation. Therefore AGBFCDE is correct as it follows segregation and linkage principles, supported by mechanistic studies and conserved across related systems.
