A hypothetical gene for cephalosporin resistance is found to be carried by a transposon. Explain what a transposon is. Then explain how the cephalosporin resistance could be horizontally transferred between organisms by transformation, conjugation, and transduction. What steps/events would have to occur to allow the transposon to be transferred by each method. Also, explain how it could be transferred vertically between organisms.
Name three ways in which genetic information of bacteria can be changed.
The figure above shows a schematic of genes and transcription control elements from phage λ. Use this figure as an aid to help you describe the molecular events involved in:
a) The establishment of lysogeny
b) The establishment of a lytic life cycle

- Please help urgentlyarrow_forwardName 3 ways in which genetic information of bacteria can be changed?arrow_forwardOne of the reasons why phage therapy has not been applied widely is that bacteria can become resistant to bacteriophages as well, through mutations in genes encoding for specific proteins. What would be a protein in the bacterial cell that, if mutated, would make that cell resistant to phage infection?arrow_forward
- Identify the most mistaken (wrong) choice: a) Transcription machinery and an enhancer can bind to the chromosome at the same time. b) Organic matters may interfere with heat treatment of bacterial growth control. ( c) Nitrocellulose can be used to filter out microorganisms from a liquid solution. d) Time to kill a bacterial culture is not proportional to the number of microbes in the culturearrow_forwardIn generalized transduction.... Choose from the answers below: random fragments of degraded bacterial DNA are packaged in phage particles. the maximum size of transduced DNA fragments is dependent on the size of the phage particles. the transducing DNA fragments are generated by faulty excision of a prophage from the host genome. a and b, but not c b and c, but not aarrow_forwardCompare and contrast the three forms of gene transfer—conjugation, transformation, and transduction—in bacteria.arrow_forward
- Categorize the following as being associated with transformation, conjugation, or transduction. Note that some items may be associated with more than one process. Transformation Conjugation Transduction requires a virus can transfer dead bacterium's DNA to a new host cell efficient way to get naked plasmid into E. coli cells in the lab involves a pilus describes type of horizontal gene transfer in bacteria cells need to be competent process exploitod by biotechnology transfer requires at least two living bacteria alters bacterial genomearrow_forwardExplain one other way beyond conjugation, transformation, and transduction to introduce new genes into cells.arrow_forwardIn Experiment I, you established that beneficial mutations are rare. In Experiment II, you showed that the environment does not affect the probability of a beneficial mutation occurring. Knowing this, why then are mutations responsible for antibiotic resistance in bacteria so common?arrow_forward
- You have found that two types of bacteria (one large, one small) can undergo horizontal gene transfer. The smaller cells encode the green fluorescent protein (GFP), and the large cells do not glow. You mix the two types of cells together, and allow them to grow together on an agar plate. The next day, you find that some of the larger cells have acquired the gfp gene and now glow green, indicating that the gene has moved from the smaller cells to the larger cells. You want to determine whether this is occurring via conjugation, transformation, or transduction. You have available a few different experimental tools: -Pure cultures of the large, non-glowing bacteria -Pure cultures of the small, gfp-expressing, glowing bacteria -0.2 µm filters (will trap both types of cells, but will let other smaller materials through) -DNase enzyme (degrades DNA) -Fluorescent microscopes and electron microscopes -All other necessary test tubes, liquid growth media, agar plates, etc Briefly outline a…arrow_forwardWhen an E. coli donor cell duplicates a strand of plasmid DNA, and passes this DNA strand to a recipient E. coli cell, without the use of naked DNA in solution or of a viral vector, this is: an example of horizontal gene transfer by means of lysogenic bacteriophages an example of horizontal gene transfer by means of lytic bacteriophages an example of horizontal gene transfer by means of transformation an example of horizontal gene transfer by means of transduction an example of horizontal gene transfer by means of conjugationarrow_forwardThe following DNA sequence is from a bacteriophage that infects a pathogenic bacterium and scientists want to know if this bacteriophage could prove to be a potential treatment against it. But first scientists need to discover if different strains of this pathogen have restriction endonucleases that it may use for its own protection. They try 3 different RE’s:a) EcoR1 b) HaeIII c) BamH1 Look up the recognition sequences for the 3 Res. Enzymes above and check whether the phage genome (a snippet of which is shown below) will or will not be ‘cut’.
