Q

What is the mechanism of action for Sulfonamides?

A

A

Sulfonamides

19
Q

How would you best describe conjugation in terms of horizontal gene transfer?

A

Pili form a tunnel that allows plasmid DNA to move into another bacteria.

20
Q

Which of these horizontal gene transfer methods involves direct transfer of plasmids through a pili tunnel?

A

Conjugation

21
Q

How would you best describe transformation in terms of horizontal gene transfer?

A

Bacteria cells absorb segments of DNA freely available in their environment

22
Q

Which of these horizontal gene transfer methods comes from intaking DNA from the environment?

A

Transformation

23
Q

How would you best describe transduction in terms of horizontal gene transfer?

A

A virus injects remnant DNA into a host cell from a prior host cell.

24
Q

Which of these horizontal gene transfer methods is a result of a virus transmitting remnant DNA?

A

Transduction

25
You can stop taking antibiotics as soon as your symptoms go away.
False
26
What is the primary difference between gram positive and gram negative bacteria?
Gram Positive has a thicker layer of peptidoglycan.
