bacter gene transfer

QuestionAnswer
DNA taken up directly from environment by competent prokaryote/eukaryote cells. Transformation
Plasmid is replicated and transferred through pilus. Plasmid DNA only, no transfer of chromosome material F+ x F- conjugation
Plasmid that is incorporated into chromosome is then replicated. When transferred, plasmid and chromosomal genes are moved. Hfr (F+ in chromosome) x F- conjugation
Lytic phage infects bacterium, leading to cleavage of DNA and synthesis of viral proteins. Part of bacterial chromosomal DNA may become packaged in viral capsid. Phage infects another bacterium transferring these genes Generalized transduction (Lytic phage)
Lysogenic phage infects bacterium; viral DNA incorporated into bacterial chromosome. When phage DNA is excised, flanking bacterial genes may be excised with it. Dna is packaged into phage viral capsid. Specialized transduction (Lysogenic)
Segment of DNA that can "jump" from one location to another. Can transfer genes from plasmid to chromosome. Transposition
Jumping from plasmid to chromosome and vice versa ____, DNA taken from external environment, DNA movement involving lytic phages, DNA movement involving lysogenic phage Transposition, Transformation, Generalized transduction, specialized transduction.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
