Abstract
The kinetics of segregation of several genetic markers in E. coli K12 are analyzed. The results suggest that the first recombinant chromosome formed from a zygote is homozygous for most of the genetic markers and that generally only one such recombinant chromosome is formed from each zygote. The implication of this finding for the mechanism of genetic recombination is discussed.Keywords
