The values of c and µ will depend on the conditions of the experiment and
can vary from experiment to experiment. Therefore, it is difficult to predict
the value of [A+]. Fortunately, we are not interested in the value of [A+]
but rather the ratio of [A+B+] / [A+] or the co-transduction frequency. The
basic mechanism of obtaining A+B+ transductants is illustrated in Fig. 3-4.
We need one cross-over to the left of A and another to the right of B.
