- How does recombination in bacteria differ from recombination in eukaryotes? 1) Recombination does not occur in prokaryotes 2) Only the plasmid DNA goes through recombination in prokaryotes 3) Sister chromatids, not homologous chromosomes, exchange information during recombination in prokaryotes 4) A portion of DNA from genome is replaced with homologous DNA from another strain of bacteria.arrow_forwardWhy are bacteria excellent hosts for recombinant DNA experiments?arrow_forwardWhy can transfer of DNA by conjugation cross genus lines, whereas transfer of DNA by natural transformation or phage transduction is usually limited to a few closely related organisms?arrow_forward
- What is recombination? What is the importance to bacteria & archaea? What are the two types of recombination? What are the details of each type? What components are needed for each type?arrow_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_forwardwhat are the plasmid status of bacterial cells resulting from conjugation between a f+ and a f- bacterium ? * a-Two F+ bacteria b-Two F- bacteria c-The F+ bacterium become F- and the F- bacterium become F+ d- The F+ bacterium remain as F+ , and the F- bacterium remain as F-arrow_forward

B) O During conjugation, rolling circle replication transfers an F factor from an F+ cell to an F- cell. ) O An F factor acquired during conjugation will automatically be integrated into the recipient's chromosome. D) O Conjugation requires physical contact between cells via the formation of a sex pilus. E) O An Hfr strain is capable of transferring a portion of the chromosome during conjugation.arrow_forwardWhy is it important to kill all the bacteria in the raw sewage during phage isolation?arrow_forwardUnlike eukaryotic organisms, bacteria can recombine their genome with foreign DNA.What are the methods bacteria use to recombine their DNA?arrow_forward
