Place the answer(s) in the cell highlighting that process. Partial genome transfer by DNA uptake Transformation Answer Bank material from a bacterial genome horizontal gene transfer Conjugation Plasmids Conjugation Genome Plasmid transfer during conjugation Partial genome transfer during conjugation Virus Transduction Transfer as part of viral genome

Which of the following are the functions of reverse transcriptase in retroviruses? i) it hydrolyzes the host cell's DNA ii) it uses viral RNA as a template for DNA synthesis iii) it converts host cell RNA into viral DNA iv) it translates viral RNA into proteins v) It uses viral RNA as a template for making complementary RNA strand vi) It degrades RNA from DNA-RNA hybrid Oi, iv and v O ii, iv, v and vi ii and iii ii and vi

Please help understand

Bacteriophage entry into a host cell involves: a) Endocytosis Ob) Membrane fusion c) Direct injection of genomic material d) Budding e) Host cell lysis

phage can be "induced" as a result of DNA damage. Consequences of induction include. Temperate phage, e.g lambda phage; lytic cycle and transduction Lytic T4 phage, assembly, conjugation O Lytic phage, e.g. T4 phage; lysogenic cycle, prophage formation Temperate phage, e.g. lambada phage, prophage formation, transformation O T4 phage, lytic cycle, specialized trasnduction
