Describe the structure of a bacterial genome, and explain how it differs from a
eukaryotic genome.
Explain what a plasmid is, and describe the role of plasmids in the spread of
antibiotic resistance genes.
Explain how bidirectional semiconservative DNA replication copies the circular
chromosome of a bacterium during cell division.
Explain the steps of replication by DNA polymerase, including initiation,
elongation, and termination.
Explain the different kinds of mutations and how they occur.
Describe how restriction enzymes like EcoR1 are used to create recombinant plasmids and what the process is for using these plasmids to replicate a piece of target DNA. Include information about how to create sticky ends, the makeup of the bacterial plasmid and how to tell if the gene was successfully inserted in the plasmid and if the plasmid has been transformed by the bacteria. You may use a drawing to enhance your description.
Study the diagram below. Put the number of the step in the diagram by its description in the list of
steps at the bottom, which are not in the correct order. Then, answer the questions that follow.

Plasmid
Recombinant DNA is formed by mixing the
donor gene with the plasmid
Bacteria cell is screened & cloned (not
shown)
Plasmid put back into target (bacterial) cell
Desired gene (for human insulin) is cut from
donor DNA using restriction enzymes
DNA is extracted from donor cell (human)
Plasmid is removed from bacterial cell and
cut open using restriction enzymes

What advantage would there be in using DNA vaccines that consist of plasmids instead of just pieces of double-stranded DNA? The new Covid19 vaccine produced by two companies (Pfizer, Moderna) uses mRNA coding for part of the spike protein of the virus. The virus uses the spike protein to invade human cells where it replicates. Is it surprising that the mRNA must be stabilized with chemicals that need ultra-cold or frozen storage to protect the mRNA from degradation before it causes human muscle cells to make the spike protein? Why not just inject the double-stranded cDNA that codes for the spike protein of the virus? What additional step or steps would you need to use to get the human muscle cells to produce the spike protein if the cDNA was injected to serve as the virus?arrow_forward
