20. P2 and P4 are bacteriophages of E. coli. They have the following properties: (1) When P2 phage infects a bacterium, the bacterium eventually bursts, yielding about 100 P2 progeny. (2) When P4 infects a bacterium, the bacterium survives because P4 is a defective phage. (3) When P2 phage and P4 phage coinfect the same bacterium, lysis of the bacterium yields 100 P4 progeny and no P2 progeny, because the presence of P4 inhibits the growth of P2. Suppose 3 x 108 P2 and 2 x 108 P4 are added to 108 bacterial cells. How many bacterial cells will produce P2 progeny? A. 1.28 x 107 В. 6.75 х 105 С. 5.00 х 106 D. 2.56 x 107 E. 3.23 x 104
6. During penetration of E. coli by a bacteriophage lysozyme is used to allow entry of the bacteriophage capsid and nucleic acid the tail acts as a hypodermic needle, injecting the bacteriophage DNA into the cell the tail fibers would bore a hole in the cell wall the virus would also bind to Sa e. E. coli would attempt to protect itself by synthesizing enzymes that degrade bacteriophage RNA 7. Penicillin-binding proteins can be bound by beta-lactam drugs in the cell b. alter the beta-lactam ring c. are involved in cell wall synthesis d. are synthesized by eukaryotic cells .a&c 8. As we discussed in class, basophils are white blood cells, and one of their roles in the host immune response is to release histamine. Based on this information, please answer the following question. Which of the following processes or cells will be affected as a result of your patient having basopenia, which is a low number of basophils? The production of C3A The production of CSA The production of pus The…
17. Animal viruses: Describe the replication cycle of a retrovirus like HIV (Human immunodeficiency virus). You may draw or describe the cycle. Be sure include how HIV carries out the steps of replication/multiplication from attachment/adsorption through release.
3. Label the following elements of the figure below: lysogenic phage, lysogenic cycle, lytic cycle, prophage, phage DNA, bacterial chromosome, and self assembly.
2) Describe the function of the key Agrobacterium proteins involved in the transfer and integration of the transfer DNA (T-DNA) into host cells
12. What is the difference between pathogenic and non-pathogenic E. coli in relation to the human host?
8. To observe bacteriophage in a lab, you would plate dilutions of the phage onto lawns of bacte- ria and observe the formation of after incubation. Hint: Specific name only.
2. Bacteriophage are very specific in the types of cells they can infect. Some see this as a possible therapy to help treat against bacterial infections. Please discuss pros and cons of this type of therapy with proper support.
