transduction (genetic transfer)

Question 1

transduction

Answer 1

change/diversify dna by a carrier or vector via bacteriophage

Question 2

bacteriophage

Answer 2

virus with its own dna that likes to infect other bacteria and help make more bacteriophages to pass on that genetic material

Question 3

1st step in process of generalized transduction

Answer 3

bacteriophage latches on cell and passes its viral DNA (phage)

Question 4

step 2 in generalized transduction

Answer 4

now have cell that contains viral dna to allow more to be made
2. proteins that enable to make more bacteriophages
3. release enzymes that break down and segment apart some of the bacterial dna

Question 5

step 3 in generalized transduction

Answer 5

capses surround (viral) phage dna and bacterial dna

Question 6

step 4 in generalized transduction

Answer 6

lysis occurs— popping of bacterial cell releasing that viral and bacterial dna

Question 7

step 5 in generalized transduction

Answer 7

viral dna released from lysis inserts into bacteriophage which latches onto another cell

Question 8

step 6 in generalized transduction

Answer 8

other bacterial dna latches on to another bacterial dna

Question 9

step 7 in generalized transduction

Answer 9

now have a cell with a mixture of dna from other bacterial cell

Question 10

significance of generalized transduction

Answer 10

giving cell viability for it to maybe have genes that can make proteins that will make it harmful and resistant in some way

Question 11

what gene products does transduction make

Answer 11

erythrogeic toxin
botulinum toxin
colera toxin
difthrotoxin
shiga toxin
