Plasmids are always present as a single copy per host cell.
Plasmids often confer antibiotic resistance on the bacteria that contain them.
Transposable elements are unable to cause mutations in the host cell
The transformation processes of all bacteria are identical.
DNA transformation involves the transfer of DNA via
The mismatch repair system will repair
When DNA from an ampicillin resistant organism is brought into an ampicillin sensitive organism by transformation and the product is grown on agar containing ampicillin
In transformation, both strands of donor DNA enter the recipient cell.
Donor DNA is combined with recipient DNA by homologous recombination.
A bacteriophage is a
When a bacteriophage carrying bacterial DNA infects a new bacterium
When a recipient bacterial cell receives bacterial DNA via transduction
A phage particle may carry pieces of bacterial DNA from one bacterium to another inside a viral protein coat.
Bacterial fragments from the donor bacterium may be integrated into the recipient bacterial chromosome
The F plasmid
The F pilus
When an F+ donor gives an F plasmid to an F- recipient
Contact is required between an F+ and an F- cell for conjugation to occur.
When F+ cells are mixed with F- cells, eventually all the cells will become F+.
HFr refers to
In conjugation of an HFr cell with an F- cell
In conjugation, the donor chromosome is transferred as
In conjugation of an HFr cell and an F- cell, the entire genome of the HFr cell is usually transferred to the recipient cell
