You are studying bacterial cells and you find bacteria with a mutation that causes it to produce non-functional ligase. If you allowed that cell to replicate once and then you isolated the DNA from the two newly formed cells what would you expect to find? A. One longer single strand of DNA and many short single strands of DNA B. Two longer single strands of DNA and many short single strands of DNA C. Four longer single strands of DNA and many short single strands of DNA D. Eight longer single strands of DNA and many short single strands of DNA
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.
