Question
Chapter 17.3, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The presence of the F factor in donor as well as recipient cell post conjugation.
Introduction:
Bacteria reproduce by asexual reproduction but have genetic diversity. The bacteria transfer the genetic material to another one. The three methods by which genetic material is transferred are conjugation, transduction, and transformation.

Both types of topoisomerases participate in the formation of nucleosomes. Topoisomerase type I cleaves one strand of a DNA duplex to remove DNA supercoils, and topoisomerase type II cleaves both strands of the DNA duplex when introducing negative supercoils into the molecule. Topoisomerase type I works to replicate DNA and topoisomerase type II works to transcribe RNA. Topoisomerase type I works on double-stranded DNA, and topoisomerase type II ("gyrase") works on single-stranded DNA. Topoisomerase type I adds negative DNA supercoils, and topoisomerase type II removes them.arrow_forward
