Term
Is the same strategies used for eukaryotes in gene mapping also used for bacteria?
Definition
Yes,  crosses are made between strains that differ in genetic markers and recombinants
Term
Whare are the three process that genetic material can be transferred between bacteria ? briefly describe each
Definition

Transformation(Absorb DNA)

Conjugation (Direct exchange oF DNA)

Transduction(Viral transfer of DNA)

Term
In each of the three main process genetic material is transferred , what do they share in common?
Definition

the transfer is unidirectional

no complete diploid stage is formed

Only genes included in the circular chromosome will be inherited stably

Yes
Term

Define nucleoid

t/f: nucleoid does not contain a nuclear membrane

 

Definition

Term
Difference of minimal media and complete medium
Definition

minimal medium: contains the simplest set of ingridients needed to for the bacteria to synthesize all the molecules for growth and reproduction

 

Complete medium: supplies all the building blocks and vitamins needed to synthesize macromolecules required for growth and reproduction

Term
bacterial strains that are unable to prodce essential nutrients
Definition
auxotrophs
Term
are wild type strains that can synthesize all essential nutrients

will trp ade thi+ grown on menimal medium?  Explain your answer expalin why

it will not grow because it has mutations for tryptophan and adenine biosynthesis 
Term
If no + is pesent  on the gene what does that mean 
Definition
the gene is a mutuant and the culture medium most supplemented with that nutrient
Term
t/f: In genetic analysis with bacteria crosses are made between strain differing in genotype .  Results are not significant thus they are  not analyzed for parenttal and recombinant phenotypes.
Definition
False: In genetic analysis with bacterial crosses are made with strains differing in gentotype. Progeny are analyzed for paternal and recombinant phenotypes
Term
When is it that strains are tested for the growth  of colonies in different growth enviroments
Definition
Auxotrophic bacteria
Term
A process in which there is unidirectional tranfer of genetic information through direct cellular contact between a donor bacterial cell and recipient cell.
Definition
Conjugation 
Term
The contact after cojugation of the cells, is followed by what?
Definition
the formation of physical bridge joining the cells called a sex pilus
Term
 The recipient that is receiving the DNA into their chromosome are called
Definition
transconjugates
Term
tHE U TUBE EXPERIMENT SHOWED WHAT?
Definition
PHYSICAL CONTACT BETWEEN THE TWO BACTERIAL STRAINS OF THE LEDERBERG AND TATUM EXPERIMENT WAS NEEDED FOR GENETIC EXCHANGE TO OCCUR
Term
Physical Contact had to occur before what
Definition
recombinants formed
Term
Which cell possesses (F+) ?
Definition
the donor it is called  the F factor
Term
The F factor found in E.Coli is a what?
Definition
Plasmid that is a self replicated circular DNA distinct from the main bacterial chromosome.
Term

T /F:  The F factor is 1-40th the size of bacterial chromosome

 Define the point which the plasmid contains that is the point where DNA transfer to the recipient begins

Definition

True 

o origin

Term
Via what is DNA  transfered to the recipient
Definition
sex pilli
Term
 t/f:The sex pillii permits physical union of the same mating type
Definition
False, no conjugation can occur between individuals of the same mating type
Term
in a f+ F- cross , none of the bacterial chromsome is transferred only the F factor is that true or false?If false why ?
Definition
True
Term

1. Plasmids  such as F factors that are also capable of integreating into the bacterial chromosome are called..?

2.  When integrated ,are their genes still active?

3. how does it replicated when integrated since it is a plasmid?

Definition

1. episomes

2.yes

3.  it is actually replicated as part of the host cell it no longer replicated independenly

Term
F factors containing bacterial genes are called...
Definition
F'
Term

In the excision of F + cell from Hfr  how does it occur:

a. spontaneously and at high frequency

b. spont and at low frequency

Definition
b
Term
How does the f factor move out from HFR
Definition
BY SPONTANEOUS MANNER AND BY LOOPING OUT OF HFR BY A SINGLE CROSS OVER EVENT
Term
INTERRUPTING  MATING WAS USED TO ANALYZE WHAT
Definition
IT BROKE COJUGATIONS PAIRS THAT ALLOWED THE ANALYZATION OF TRANSCONJUGANTS FOR WHICH DONOR GENES THEY HAVE RECEIVED
Term
HOW MANY F FACTORS ARE INTEGRATED INTO EACH HFR STRAIN
Definition
ONLY ONE  IN DIFFERENT ORIENTATIONS AND DIFFERENT LOCATIONS
Term
E. coli linkage is linear or circular?
Definition
Circular
Term

True or False:

The genetic distance in time units between a particular pair of gens is constant no matter which Hfr is used as a donor

Definition
True
Term
Hfrs' differ with respect to what two things

where the transfer begins and what order donor genes transfer
Term
is the transfer of genetic material between organisms by means of extracellular pieces of DNA

since they mixed autotrophs and still got prototrophs even with no contact the conclusion was that P22 Temprate phage was responsible
