Bacterial Genetics Flashcards
Covalent ky closed dna circles which contain genetic information necessary for their own replication
Replicon
It gives resistance to antibiotics
Plasmids
Can integrate to the host chromosome
Episomes
What is the usually first amino acid in bacteria
F Methionine
This is a bacterial topoisomerase 2
Dna gyrase
This enzyme is responsible for proof reading
DNA polymerase 1
This enzyme is for repair
DNA polymerase 2
Unable to grow unless a certain nutrient is provided
Auxotroph
Base substitution in DNA causes replacement of 1 amino acid residue by another in a protein
Missense mutant
Substitution creates a stop codon and terminates the protein synthesis immaturely
Nonsense mutant
Redundancy of the genetic code
Silent mutant
This repair mechanism is due to photo deactivation
Light repair mechanism
Uses lack of methylation to recognize the new one
Mismatch repair mechanism
Uptake of unpackaged or free DNA and receive my must be competent
Transformation
Gram negative bacteria uses what kind of mechanism to transfer the gene
Sex pili for male
Tra gene
