Prokaryotes Flashcards
what are some fun facts about prokaryotes?
look at notes
how are prokaryote’s dna arranged?
in a big circle
reasons why bacteria is the master of adaptation
- short generation span
- simplicity
- high variation
- aesexual
- horizontal gene sharing
ways bacteria performs combination
- transformation
- transduction
- conjunction
places prokaryotes can live
glaciers
salt
outside of space
vents
faster reproduction rate equals what?
faster evolution speed
what is the general mutation rate?
1/10,000
w many genes does bacteria have?
4300
how do bacteria exchange genes
mutation and recombination
what does bacteria do to really good genes
exploit it
the giving away of a good gene
conjugation
fun facts about bacteria
look at notes
how does bacteria become different
mutations
what allows the bacteria cell to make a copy of the dna?
plasmid DNA
how do the genes get from A to B
chromosomal DNA
what is the mitochondria for bacteria?
ribosomes
bacteria that has an extra layer of protection outside of the wall
gram negative bacteria
bacteria that just has an outside wall
gram positive bacteria
moving
platonic
stay in place (social)
biofilm
where does bacteria usually excel?
reproduction
what kind of reproduction does bacteria do?
experience recombination
example of good bacteria mutation
not killing the host and just living off of it
how many protein does it take for flagella
40-50
what is bacterial transduction
