Q

What was griffith’s experiment and what did he discover?

A

discovered transformation. observed virulent strains were smooth (LPS) and mixed heat killed smooth and non virulent and mouse still died.

Q

who carried out the interrupted mating experiment using a blender?

A

Jacob and Wollman

17
Q

when was the interrupted mating experiment first carried out and by who?

A

Jacob and wollman in 1957

18
Q

what does dilution help do in interrupted mating experiments?

A

stops new matings and determines start time

19
Q

what are the first genes to be transferred in interrupted mating experiments?

A

F factor genes

20
Q

T or F:the closer the gene is to the OriT the slower it will be transferred?

A

FALSE it will be quicker the closer it is to OriT

21
Q

what genes are for the production of the pilus?

A

tra genes

22
Q

does the probability of mating cells breaking increase or decrease over time?

A

increase

23
Q

the later the gene enters the recipient cell the smaller the frequency of recombinants: T or F

A

True as the probability of the two mating cells breaking increases with time (PRODUCING a new HFR from HFR and F- is very low as F- rarely receives entire F factor)

24
Q

what does high resolution mapping use?

A

recombinant frequencies

25
Q

what is a prophage?

A

temperate bacteriophage integrated into host bacterium’s chromosome

26
Q

what is a temperate phage?

A

phage that uses lytic or lysogenic cycle

27
Q

what is cotransduction?

A

transduction involving 2 or more genetic loci by a single phage( phage picks up as single piece of DNA as the genes are close together)

28
Q

who discovered transduction?

A

Josh Lederberg and Norton zinder

29
Q

Who are Josh lederberg and Norton zinder?

A

scientists that discovered transduction

30
Q

what experiments did lederberg and zinder carry out and what did they discover?

A

transduction through experiments with Salmonella typhirurium. They discovered recombinants from u tube and varied pore size to discover agent was P22 virus

31
Q

what is p22?

A

a temperate phage of salmonella typhirurium

32
Q

how did lederberg and zinder know the filterable agent in their experiment WAS P22?

A

they both had the same properties 1)size 2)antiserum sensitivity 3)immunity to hydrolytic enzymes

33
Q

what is the lander phage an example of?

A

a specialised temperate phage

34
Q

where does the lander phage always insert into and why?

A

between gal and bio region of host chromosome to ensure it is always integrated at the same point so when the lytic cycle is induced it can be excised precisely to create circular lander chromosome (can then remain in lysogenic cycle)

35
Q

what is the lytic cycle induced by?

A

UV
