Introduction

Question 1

Intro 1 History/Mathematics

Answer 1

-but the frequency of mutation to resistance is TOO LOW?!
10^-6 =probability of independent mutation in any given gene
-2 or 3 independent mutation events: INCREDIBLY SMALL NUMBER, RARELY HAPPENS IN NATURE

Question 2

Intro 2-AHA!!

Answer 2

• multiple resistance already exist within different bacteria in the population
• so to acquire resistance just ACQUIRE large pieces of DNA from other bacteria or from bacterial viruses (bacteriophages)

Question 3

Intro 3-Sharing of Genetic Information

Answer 3

• INTER and INTRA related species
  1. transformation
  2. conjugation
  3. transduction
• *wont be happening concurrently-duhhh

Question 4

Intro 4-Info on the Trixie Trio

Answer 4

• all three involve ONE-WAY TRANSFER of DNA from a DONOR to a RECIPIENT
• EXOgenote=donor molecule of DNA being introduced into the recipient
• ENDOgenote-recipient cell’s own original chromosome
