Q. The diagram is given below shows conjugation between F + or Hfr donor cells with F-recipient cells. On the basis of this diagram, answer the following questions.1. How you will differentiate between an F + and an Hfr strain? 2. Among two strains, which type of strain do you expect to transfer bacterial genes to F-cells? 3. What may be the end status of both donor and recipient cells of F plasmid-mediated conjugation? 4. What may be the end result when Hfr conjugates with F- cell?

- Describe the 3 ways in which bacteria can transfer genetic material to each other via horizontal gene transfer. Be sure to explain the following: How is DNA transferred between bacteria, is there direct contact between bacteria and whether a plasmid is involved or not.arrow_forwardThe {choose } options are transformation, conjugation, or transduction.arrow_forwardPlease ASAP. Thankuarrow_forward
- Identify the most mistaken (wrong) choice: a) Transcription machinery and an enhancer can bind to the chromosome at the same time. b) Organic matters may interfere with heat treatment of bacterial growth control. ( c) Nitrocellulose can be used to filter out microorganisms from a liquid solution. d) Time to kill a bacterial culture is not proportional to the number of microbes in the culturearrow_forwardPlease ASAP. Thankyouarrow_forwardIf we were to examine a strain with the F plasmid inserted into the same site of the bacterial chromosome, but in the reverse orientation: a) What would the order of gene transfer be? Include all of the genetic markers including the amino acid and nucleic acid metabolism genes and streptomycin resistance. b) What cell types would be able to grow on the NA vs ECM media types? Be sure to include the genotypes of the cells that would grow. Remember that NA provides all nutrients the bacteria needs + no antibiotic and HCM = minimal medium + glucose + has streptomycin antibiotic c) Would we still be able to perform our mapping? Why or why not? (Hint: refer to part b above)arrow_forward
- How would you determine if a transfection was transient or stable? This image might be helpfularrow_forwardWe have two specific strains of E. coli that have shown horizontal gene transfer (HGT) when mixed. To experimentally determine the method of HGT that is happening, the following conditions are set up in different tubes of culture media: A) Donor and recipient strain mixed together (control - no treatment). B) Donor and recipient strains mixed together, DNase added (can digest DNA in solution, not within cells).C) Special tube containing a membrane filter (with pores that allow DNA and viruses to pass through, but not bacterial cells) that separates two compartments. Donor strain is added on one side, the recipient strain on the other (they are separated by the filter).D) Donor and recipient strains mixed together, with chemical that inactivates viruses (chemical affects bacteriophages in solution so they are unable to attach to cells). The results: Tubes A, B, and D: HGT was observed. Tube C: HGT was NOT observed. Based on this, which type of HGT was occurring? Conjugation,…arrow_forwardOne of the reasons why phage therapy has not been applied widely is that bacteria can become resistant to bacteriophages as well, through mutations in genes encoding for specific proteins. What would be a protein in the bacterial cell that, if mutated, would make that cell resistant to phage infection?arrow_forward

What does it mean if genetic reads map in different locations in difgerent strains? Explain in terms of recombination hotspots.arrow_forwardResults from a Kirby Bauer antibiotic assay on a Gram-negative bacterial culture are described as follows: A) the bacterium is resistant to penicillin, an antibiotic that targets synthesis of the peptidoglycan cell wall and B) the bacterium is resistant to tetracycline, an antibiotic that targets the small subunit of the ribosome, inhibiting protein synthesis.
