Question
Answer
What is the complete set of genetic information of an organism called   genome  
🗑
In replication the fact that each new cell ends up with a complete strand from the parent DNA is called what   Semiconservative replication  
🗑
What direction is DNA replicated   5'to3'  
🗑
What direction is DNA read for replication   3'to 5'  
🗑
What is the first step in transcription   RNA polymerase recognizes promoter region on DNA  
🗑
Which subunit of RNA polymerase recognizes the promoter region on DNA   Sigma Factor  
🗑
What are the steps to transcription   initiation, elongation, termination  
🗑
What is the structure in the RNA chain that the terminator encodes for   Hairpin loop  
🗑
What is translation   reading of mRNA to make a protein  
🗑
What are the components needed for translation   mRNA, ribosomes, tRNAs  
🗑
What is the region on tRNA called that is complementary to the matching region on the mRNA   anticodon  
🗑
What type of gene transfer are bacteria capable of that humans are not where genes are exchanged between bacteria and not only progeny   horizontal gene transfer  
🗑
What are the three mechanisms for genetic transfer in bacteria   DNA-mediated transformation- naked DNA transfered Transduction-transfer completed via virus conjugation- DNA transfered by direct contact between cells  
🗑
Where does the naked DNA for transformation come from   ruptured cells  
🗑
What is electroporation   process by which competency (ability to uptake naked DNA) can be artificially induced  
🗑
what is the virus that infects bacteria called   bacteriaphage  
🗑
what is the process by which viruses can transfer DNA between bacteria cells is called   transduction  
🗑
What is generally transferred between bacterial cells in conjugation   Plasmids  
🗑
Which cell is the F+ cell   the cell that transferred the F plasmid to the other  
🗑
what does bacteriostatic mean   inhibits growth  
🗑
what does bactericidal mean   kills microorganism  
🗑
What are the two spectrums of acivity of antimicrobial drugs   narrow and broad spectrum  
🗑
What does selective toxicity refer to   antimicrobial that only harms prokaryotes not human cells  
🗑
HOw do penicillin and cephalosporin stop bacterial growth   stop cell wall synthesis  
🗑
what is the chemical structuer of penicillin and cephalosporins called that inhibits cell wall growth   beta-lactam ring  
🗑
drugs that inhibit protein synthesis and are bacteriostatic   tetracyclins, macrolides, lincosamides, chloramphenicol,  
🗑
drug that inhibits protein synthesis and is bactericidal   aminoglycosides  
🗑
how are fluoroquinolones antimicrobials   they inhibit topoisomerases which means bacteria can't remove supercoils formed during replication  
🗑
What type of antimicrobial drug is ciprofloxacin   fluoroquinolone that inhibits topoisomerases  
🗑
what drug inhibits RNA polymerase from initiating transcription,   rifamycins such as rifampin  
🗑
What drug apart from treating gram + and - can also target mycobacterium   rifamycins(rifampin) can treat leprosy and TB  
🗑
Drug that breaks down cell membrane can only be used topically because it can affect eukaryotic cells as well- common ingredient in first aid skin ointments   Polymyxin B  
🗑
What is the test for bacterial resistance to antibiotics   kiryb bauer disc diffusion test  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
