Exam 2 deck 6

Question 1

Gene transfer

Answer 1

the movement of genetic info between organisms

Question 2

Recombination

Answer 2

combining genes (DNA) from 2 different cells

Question 3

Recombinant

Answer 3

cell resulting from recombination

Question 4

vertical gene transfer

Answer 4

occurs during reproduction of between generations of cells

Question 5

horizontal gene transfer

Answer 5

the transfer of genes between cells of the same generation

Question 6

3 types of genetic transfer in bacteria

Answer 6

1) Transformation
2) Conjugation
3) Transduction

Question 7

Griffith’s mouse experiment

Answer 7

Smooth— dead
rough—-lived
heat killed smooth—-lived
rough + heat killed smooth—-dead

Question 8

Transformation

Answer 8

The uptake of naked DNA by a cell that is maintained in a heritable form

Question 9

competent cells

Answer 9

cells that can take up naked DNA

-either degrade it or incorporate it into its own genome

Question 10

Why are competent cells useful for genetically modifying bacteria

Answer 10

because you can give one the desired genes and it will spread it to those around it

Question 11

Conjugation

Answer 11

Transfer of DNA via cell to cell contact
