gram positive (THICK layer of peptidoglycan)

Question 7

pink gram stain

Answer 7

gram negative (THIN layer of peptidoglycan)

Question 8

one ancestor and SOME of the decendants

Answer 8

polyphyletic

Question 9

what was a sign of cross over

Answer 9

spores that were not 4 black then 4 white
(a mix of black and white) were recombinant

Question 10

the uptake of foreign DNA into the genome from the surrounding environment

Answer 10

transformation

Question 11

using plasmids to move DNA from one cell to another

Answer 11

transformation

Question 12

role of sulfuric acid in the enzyme lab

Answer 12

denatures the enzyme’s active site because of the low pH

Question 13

calculate rf value

Answer 13

distance traveled by component/ (divided by) distance traveled by the solvent

Question 14

can environmental factors alter gene expression?

Answer 14

YES this is what the lac operon is! having lactose in the environment induces it

Question 15

rf value cannot be greater than

Answer 15

1 (bc the solute would have traveled further than the solvent)

Question 16

this travels the furthers on a chromatogram

Answer 16

solvent front

radioactive dating

Question 24

DNA migrates from

Answer 24

negative to positive
