What conclusions are consistent with these data? (Select all that apply.)

A researcher is studying the rII locus of phage T4. Three rII- strains are obtained: A, B, C, and D. In the first experiment, E. coli strain K(?) is coinfected with two rII- strains simultaneously and the results are recorded. Infection with A and B phage = plaques form Infection with A and C phage = plaques form Infection with B and C phage = no plaques form Infection with B and D phage = no plaques form Infection with C and D phage = no plaques form In a second experiment, coinfections are performed first in E. coli strain B, then the progeny phage are used to infect E. coli strain K(?). Progeny of A and B phage = plaques form Progeny of B and C phage = plaques form Progeny of C and D phage = plaques form Progeny of B and D phage = no plaques from A) Strains B and D both carry the same mutation. B) Strains B, C, and D carry mutations in the same gene. C) Strain A carries a mutation in a different gene than strains B, C, and D. D) Strains A and B carry mutations in the same gene. E) Strains B and C both carry the same mutation. F) A, B, C, and D carry mutations in the same gene.
