E cell genetic material
yes dna
multiple linear chrs that are in a nucleus and contain histone proteins
P cell genetic material
yes DNA
a single circular chromosome
naked dna
E cell Meiosis
YES
P cell Meiosis
no. does binary fission. clones of previous cell
E cell recombination
yes . independent assortment or crossing over
P cell recombination
yes
do E or P cells do crossing over >
both
Bacteria colony is what
cell clones descended from a singly original cell
commonly studied genetic mutants in bacteria
auxotrophic alleles, energy use mutant alleles, antibiotic resistant alleles
auxotropic alleles def (pur-)
unable to synthesize a molecule required for life. in this case purines (A+G)
Energy use mutant allels (lac-)
the mutant bacterium cannot use a specific nutritive molecule to produce ATP in this case, cant use lactose to produce ATP
Antibiotic resistant alleles (str s)
str s means with cell will perish when exposed to the antibiotic streptomycin. s is sensitive . r is resistant
when adding lactose only we what
are selecting against the lac - bacteria
how can we harvest and study lac - mutants
with replica plating
in lac- and lac+ replicate plating we make the two dishes with what
one of glucose and lactose and one of lactose only
its easier to harvest what
antibiotic resistant mutants, because they are the ony ones that will survie
with an auxotrophic mutant we start with histidine but then what to select for his -
one gets no histidine and one still adds histidine
with energy use mutants we start with lactose and glucose but when what to select for lac-
one we only add lactose and the other we add lactose and glucose
with antibiotic resistance mutants we start plain. how do we select or str R
we add streptomycin
if met- bio- thr+ leu+ thi+ and met+ bio+ thr- leu- thi- mix what could form colonies ?
1/1000 are
met+ bio+ thr+ leu+ thi+
