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.
![Using the data below from a decomposition experiment in Canada, where rates of

Mean annual temperature (°C)
O Respiration rates are consistent across all sites.
If the climate changes led to increased mean annual temperature the decomposition rates
would increase.
O All of the others are correct.
O Moving samples from their original site to a colder climate would decrease decomposition
rates more for samples that were originally from site U more than site A.
O Photosynthesis is likely highest at the warmest sites.
