A small section of bacterial DNA template (anti-sense) strand has the following nucleotide sequence: GTT GTC CAC TCG A mutation in the above sequence involved the deletion of a single base, leading to a shift in the reading frame of the gene, resulting in an incomplete protein. Which of the following gene sequences exemplifies the mutation described above? Select one: a. TT GTC CAC TCG b. GTT GAT CCA CT c. GT ATC CAC TCG d. ATT GTC AC TCG
Bacterial Genomics
The study of the morphological, physiological, and evolutionary aspects of the bacterial genome is referred to as bacterial genomics. This subdisciplinary field aids in understanding how genes are assembled into genomes. Further, bacterial or microbial genomics has helped researchers in understanding the pathogenicity of bacteria and other microbes.
Transformation Experiment in Bacteria
In the discovery of genetic material, the experiment conducted by Frederick Griffith on Streptococcus pneumonia proved to be a stepping stone.
Plasmids and Vectors
The DNA molecule that exists in a circular shape and is smaller in size which is capable of its replication is called Plasmids. In other words, it is called extra-chromosomal plasmid DNA. Vectors are the molecule which is capable of carrying genetic material which can be transferred into another cell and further carry out replication and expression. Plasmids can act as vectors.
