Genetics Flashcards
Bacterial Genome
Single circular chromosome, nucleoid region, DNA plasmids, Episomes integrate
Bacterial Variance
Transformation, Conjugation, Transduction
Transformation
Foreign chromosome fragment (plasmid) is incorporated into the bacterial chromosome via recombination
Conjugation
Sexual mating in bacteria temporarily joined, F factor, antibody resistance
Transduction
Injection of viral DNA, new genetic arrangement through recombination with the new host cell’s DNA
Inducer-Repressor Complex
Cannot bind to the operator, removal of barrier
Nondisjunction
Trisomy, Monosomy (Down Syndrome)
Law of Independent Assortment
Inheritance of a trait is completely independent of any other
Law of Segregation
Gametes carry only one allele of a certain trait
Four Principles of Inheritance
Alleles are alternative forms, one allele from each parent, segregation, silent/expressed
