From the complete genome sequence of an organism, you have determined the following percentages of each nucleotide: Adenine (20); Cytosine (30) Guanine (30); Thymine (20). The mol% G + C for this organism is
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.
![From the complete genome sequence of an organism, you have determined the following percentages of each nucleotide: Adenine (20%); Cytosine (30%); Guanine (30%); Thymine (20%). The mol% G + C for this organism is ________.
**Multiple Choice:**
- ○ 0.6
- ○ 1.5
- ● 60
- ○ 30
- ○ Insufficient information is provided to calculate the mol% G + C.
The correct answer, indicated by a filled circle, is 60.
In this context, "mol% G + C" refers to the proportion of Guanine (G) and Cytosine (C) bases in the organism's DNA. Given that both Guanine and Cytosine make up 30% each of the DNA, the G + C content is calculated as 30% + 30% = 60%.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fa442f039-c23f-4767-9723-571e7d7e1a22%2Fead7c8d5-4122-4703-8165-1f88a4e4692b%2F0aj62y.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
