Terms Definitions
BACTERIAL GENETICS - in Transposition, what is "jumping" segments of DNA
BACTERIAL GENETICS - TransFormation requires - Naked DNA in the environment (ability to take up DNA from environment is known as "competence")
BACTERIAL GENETICS - F+ x F- conjugation is the ONLY way to transfer... - Multiple Antibiotic resistance
BACTERIAL GENETICS - what kind of phage infects the bacterium in Specialized Transduction? - Lysogenic phage
BACTERIAL GENETICS - in Hfr x F-, what type of genes are transferred? - what type of genes are NOT transferred? Plasmid AND Chromosomal - none
BACTERIAL GENETICS - in Generalized Transduction, what happens to the bacterial DNA? - what happens to the viral DNA? - Cleavage of bacterial DNA - Synthesis of Viral proteins
BACTERIAL GENETICS - TransFormation requires what? - TransDuction requires what? - Conjugation requires what? (NBC) - Naked DNA - Bacteriophage - Conjugation
BACTERIAL GENETICS - in a typical Conjugation (F+ x F-), what type of Antibiotic resistance can occur? - in a Hfr conjugation (F- x Hfr), then what type of Antibiotic resistance can occur? - ONLY way to transfer MULTIPLE ABx Resistance - transfer of Single ABx resistance
BACTERIAL GENETICS - In F+ x F- Conjugation, the plasmid DNA is replicated in which bacteria? - once replicated, it will travel via what? F+ F Pilus (Cytoplasmic Bridge)
BACTERIAL GENETICS - Methicilin resistance by Staph. aureus was obtained via what process? - TransDuction (via a Phage)
BACTERIAL GENETICS - what is an Hfr cell? - specify the F-type - when Plasmid is incorporated in to bacterial chromosome - when F+ plasmid is incorporated into bacterial chromosomal DNA
BACTERIAL GENETICS - Transduction requires - Bacteriophage
BACTERIAL GENETICS - in Generalized Transduction, how does the bacterial DNA get transferred? - some of the chopped up Chromosomal bacterial DNA may become packaged in viral capsid (when phage infects another bacterium, genes will be transferred)
BACTERIAL GENETICS - the process of TransFormation allows for what type of ABx resistance transfer? - Single ABx Resistance Transfer
BACTERIAL GENETICS - TransFormation is a feature especially of what bugs? (SHiN) - Strep. pneumoniae - HiB - Neisseria
BACTERIAL GENETICS - in Hfr x F-, the replication of the incorporated plasmid DNA may include? - incorporated Flanking Chromosomal DNA
BACTERIAL GENETICS - what kind of phage infects the bacterium in Generalized Transduction? - Lytic phage
BACTERIAL GENETICS - under what circumstance can an integrated prophage become induced into a lytic phage replication? - UV light (is just one example)
BACTERIAL GENETICS - in F+ x F- Conjugation, what type of DNA is transferred? - what type of DNA is NOT transferred? - Plasmid - Chromosomal DNA
BACTERIAL GENETICS - in Specialized Transduction, how does the bacterial DNA get transferred? - when viral DNA is excised, the flanking bacterial genes may be excised with it.
BACTERIAL GENETICS - in Hfr x F-, the replication and transfer comes FROM? - Hfr
BACTERIAL GENETICS - in TransFormation, what DNA is allowed for uptake? - Any DNA
BACTERIAL GENETICS - what is lysogenic conversion? - Lysogeny's ability of converting a NON-Pathogen into a Pathogen (or just increase virulence)
BACTERIAL GENETICS - in Transposition, what type of genes are being tranferred? - Plasmid genes to Chromosomes or VISE VERSA
BACTERIAL GENETICS - in the Conjugation of F+ x F-, which plasmid contains genes required for conjugation? - bacteria without this gene is termed what? F+ (male b/c of erection) F- (female)
BACTERIAL GENETICS - in Conjugation involving the High Frequency of Recombination (Hfr) cell, what combo allows for recombination? - what combo allows for DNA transfer? F+ x Hfr F- x Hfr
BACTERIAL GENETICS - list the 3 major ways bacteria diversify their genetics - TransFormation - TransDuction - Conjugation
BACTERIAL GENETICS - in Specialized Transduction, what happens to the bacterial DNA? - what happens to the viral DNA? - Viral DNA is incorporated into bacterial chromosome
BACTERIAL GENETICS - Most of the Bad Toxins are transferred via what process? - Specialized Transduction (lysogenic transduction)
BACTERIAL GENETICS - what are the pathways that occur for Transduction? - Generalized Transduction ("packaging" event) - Specialized Transduction ("excision" event)
BACTERIAL GENETICS - In Specialized Transduction, what is the DNA called once it integrates into the bacterial DNA? - Prophage
BACTERIAL GENETICS - give an example of TransFormation - Rough (R) & Smooth (S) strains of Strep. pneumoniae in the Griffith experiment of 1928
BACTERIAL GENETICS - in which genetic process does Chromosomal Recombination occur? - Conjugation btw Hfr & F-
