What is the difference between genetic horizontal gene transfers: transformation, transduction, conjugation, and transposition?
In conjugation, F+ cells
O 1) can transfer DNA only to other F+ cells.
O 2) do not have conjugation pili.
O3) contain "jumping genes."
O 4) serve as recipient cells.
O5)
O 5) contain DNA R factors that can be shared.
Is conjugation a vertical gene transfer?

- Describe the differences between transformation, transduction and conjugation.arrow_forwardHow does recombination in bacteria differ from recombination in eukaryotes? 1) Recombination does not occur in prokaryotes 2) Only the plasmid DNA goes through recombination in prokaryotes 3) Sister chromatids, not homologous chromosomes, exchange information during recombination in prokaryotes 4) A portion of DNA from genome is replaced with homologous DNA from another strain of bacteria.arrow_forwardHow does transduction differ from transformation?arrow_forward
- A reciprocal translocation occurs in an individual between chromosomes 4 and 18, and this translocation causes a disease in the individual. What is the most likely reason chromosome mutation causes a disease? a) The translocation causes a break in the chromosome in a gene regulatory region. b) Chromosomes with a translocation cannot replicate. c) An individual with a translocation has some genes duplicated. d) An individual with a translocation has some genes missing.arrow_forwardWhat are the differences between transformation, transfection and transduction?arrow_forwardExplain why the three transformations produce different number of colonies, commenting on the relative numbers of white and blue colonies. plate 1 - bugger only (control) plate 2 - vector + human DNA plate 3 - vector DNA only (control)arrow_forward
- Consider the following experiment. First, large populations of two mutant strains of Escherichia coli are mixed, each requiring a different, single amino acid. After plating them onto a minimal medium, 45 colonies grew. Which of the following may explain this result? A) The colonies may be due to back mutation (reversion). B) The colonies may be due to recombination. C) Either A or B is possible. D) Neither A nor B is possible.arrow_forwardChemical mutagens often cause oxidation or deamination of DNA bases. This can lead to cancer by causing: A) Activation of replication. B) Activation of transcription. C) Non Watson-Crick base pairing. OD) Changes to cytochrome P450 enzymes. OE) Activation of translation.arrow_forwardIn transformation, a bacterial cell takes up DNA fragments from its surroundings. The figure shows the process of natural transformation. Position the labels below with the correct images. (A) Donor and recipient genomes The donor strand is integrated into the recipient chromosome and the displaced bacterial DNA is degraded. A wild-type donor cell is in the vicinity of a double auxotroph. If the wild-type cell lyses, it releases DNA into the environment. One cell is identical to the original recipient, while the other carries the wild-type genes. A competent recipient cells a receptor site on its surface. One strand of donor DNA enters the cell and pairs with a homologous region of the bacterial chromosome The remaining DNA strand is degraded. A donor DNA strand binds to the receptor site.

- What is Artificial hybridisation?arrow_forwardDouble-stranded breaks are repaired by a) homologous recombinational repair. b) translesion repair. c) direct reversal of DNA damagearrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about conjugation is false? After a F- cell has conjugated with an F+ cell, both cells would be F+. Both Hfr and F+ bacteria have the ability to produce a sex pilus. In F+ × F- conjugation, none of the bacterial chromosome is transferred; only the F factor is. A Hfr strain usually transfers the entire bacterial chromosome to the recipient cell. F' × F- conjugation can produce a partially diploid bacterial cell.arrow_forward
