Consider the Map Shown Below of a Portion of a Prokaryotic

question 47

Essay

Consider the map shown below of a portion of a prokaryotic genome. How might the elements indicated affect the stability and structure of the genome? Assume that IS2 encodes for a transposase that catalyzes conservative transposition. Re-draw the genome map to illustrate your prediction if necessary.
| IS2 | gene1 gene2 gene3 | IS2 | geneA geneB geneC | IS2 | geneD | IS2 | geneX
