Mark all that apply. A. conjugation between two different species of bacteria allowed both strains of bacteria to express a virulence factor B. transformation resulted in expression of a virulence factor C. horizontal gene transfer between different species of bacteria D. transduction of a specific gene resulted in expression of new traitsarrow_forwardDuring transduction via phage P1,a. any small fragment of the bacterial chromosome may betransferred to another bacterium by a phage.b. only a specific fragment of DNA may be transferred to anotherbacterium by a phage.c. any small fragment of the bacterial chromosome may betransferred during conjugation.d. only a specific fragment of DNA may be transferred duringconjugation.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is false? a.

O c. the ADP-ribosylated DNA polymerase encoded by T4 genome. d. the DNA polymerase encoded by E. coli genome.arrow_forward18. Restriction endonucleases can break a. Hydrogen bonds only b. Covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds c. Covalent bonds and ionic bonds d. Hydrogen bonds and ionic bonds e. Covalent bonds only 19. The relationship between plasmids and bacteria is said to be endosymbiotic. This is because a. the plasmids exist on the surface of the bacterium b. the bacterium exists within the plasmid c. the bacterium is helped by the relationship, but the plasmid suffers d. the plasmid exists within the bacterium and the relationship of bacterium and plasmid is mutually beneficial e. the plasmid produces nutrients, which are used by the bacterium 20.

Allow the synthesis of new DNA strands in the 5' to 3' direction from the primersarrow_forwardHow is phage therapy different from antibiotic therapy? usually kill many kinds of bacteria, including our beneficial (mutualistic) bacteria, but can be specifically selected to kill one type of harmful (pathogenic) bacteria. a.

RNA dependent RNA polymerase; reverse transcriptase C. replicase; DNA polymerase D. DNA polymerase, replicasearrow_forwardIf the HIV did not have a reverse transcriptase enzyme, then which of the following would apply? Select one: a. The virus can make use of the reverse transcriptase enzyme from the host cell to convert its RNA into DNA b. Viral particles will be produced without reverse transcriptase enzyme since the original HIV is an RNA virus and needs to assemble RNA ant coat proteins together c. The virus will manufacture its proteins from its RNA using translation and ribosomes from host cell d. Provirus will not be formed and assembly of viral particles will never occur e. The virus will not be able to recognise the host cell and therefore entry into the cell is blockedarrow_forwardSome scientists are trying to engineer bacteriophageto treat bacterial infections in humans when theinfections do not respond to chemical antibiotics.a. What possible advantages might phage therapyhave over antibiotic therapy?b. Describe potential difficulties that would need tobe overcome for phage therapy to succeed.c.
