Ultraviolet radiation causes a very specific type of DNA damage called thymine
dimers.
Sequences of DNA that can move to new positions within the genome of a single
cell are called transposons.
The distortion of DNA by thyiine dimers directly blocks which of the following
cellular process?
Transcription, Replication
Place the steps of DNA mediated transformation into the correct order..
1. Double stranded DNA molecule binds to surface receptor.
2. Nucleases degrade one strand of double stranded.
3. Single stranded cell
4. Single stranded DNA integrates into genome
Transposons are segments of DNA that can move from one location to another in a
cells genome.
Which of the following are components of the simplest transposon, an insertion
sequence?
Transposase gene, and inverted resistance gene
Cells that have the ability to take up DNA from the environment are called
competent cells.
When excision errors produce plasmids containing both chromosomal and F Plasmid
DNA, the resulting plasmid is called a(n) F prime plasmid.
Bacteriophages consist of: Protein coat (capsid), DNA genome, RNA genome
A base substitution that changes an amino acid-encoding codon to a stop codon is
called a(n) nonsense mutation.
The most common type of mutation is the base substitution mutation, where an
incorrect nucleotide incorporated during DNA replication.
Bacterial conjugation does not require contact between the two cells. False
The fertility plasmid is the most thoroughly studied example of a conjugative
plasmid.
Which of the following are sources of naked DNA?
Secreted into the environment by bacteria, lysed (burst) bacterial cells
Avery, Macleod, McCarty demonstrated that Griffiths transforming molecule was:
DNA
The native or wild type strain describes cells that carry nonmutated DNA.
Found in all prokaryotes, cells cannot survive their loss- chromosome
Contains and origin of replication, made of double stranded DNA Plasmid &
chromosome
Often the location of antibiotic resistance genes in bacteria, typically do not encode
genes essential to the life of the cell Plasmid
Transposons are DNA segments that increase the rate of mutations by inserting
themselves into a gene and inactivating it.
Spontaneous mutations are random genetic changes that result from normal cellular
processes.
An organism that does not require growth factors is called a(n) prototroph.
In bacterial conjugation, all F+ donor cells are high frequency recombinant (Hfr)
cells. False
Donor and recipient bacterial cells are connected by a sex pilus during conjugation.
A(n) F plasmid is a circular DNA molecule that is capable of directing its own
transfer from one bacterium to another through a pilus.
The type of transduction that can transfer any genes of a host cell is called
generalized transduction.
Frameshift mutations are generally the most harmful to cells because they change
all of the condons downstream of the mutation.
Which mechanism of gene transfer involves the uptake of naked DNA by competent
bacterial recipient cells?
Transformation
In generalized transduction donor DNA integrates into the recipient chromosome by
homologous recombination.
A base substitution that results in a change in the amino acid encoded is called a(n)
missense mutation.
Most transposons contain transcriptional terminators.
Which of the following odds are NOT within the range of mutation rates for a typical
gene?
One in ten trillion
One in one thousand
One in one hundred
A point mutation involves any substitution of a single nucleotide that does not
change the DNA reading frame. True
Induced mutations are genetic changes caused by factors from outside of the cell
such as raditation or chemicals.
