In his deletion mapping experiments, Benzer coinfected bacteria with one phage that contained a point mutation and one phage that contained a deletion mutation. Assume that the point mutation and deletion mutation are not in overlapping regions of the phage genome. What phage recombinants would you expect if a crossing-over event occurred between the regions of the two mutations?

The correct answer would be - there will be wild type and double mutant (contains both the deletion mutation and the point mutation)

Explanation:

It is mention that the deletion mutation and point mutation are non-overlapping or no overlapping regions in the phage genome. A crossing-over event between the regions of these two mutations would get wild-type which means there would be neither point mutation nor deletion mutation and other would be a double mutant that contains both mutation - the point mutation and the deletion mutation.

Thus, the correct answer is - there will be wild type and double mutant (contains both the deletion mutation and the point mutation)
