Micro Exam 3_ Made Easy Flashcards
1
Q
Capsid
A
- Surrounds genetic material
2
Q
Pili
A
- adheres, can grab hold of victim
3
Q
Capsules
A
- protective walls that surround cell membranes.
- MORE virulent because of macrophages & neutrohils cannot phagocytozye.
- microscopy- india ink
4
Q
Transformation
A
- naked DNA fragments bind to cell wall of another.
5
Q
Competent
A
- cell wall can bind & tke it up extracellulary (same species as donors)
- Griffith Test
6
Q
Transduction
A
- bacteriophage carry bacterial DNA from one bacteria to another
7
Q
Bacteriophage
A
- have a capsid
- surrounds DNA or RNA (spider stinger)
- ejected DNA takes over host
- Cell can hold no more particles, lyses, releasing phages
8
Q
2 Types of Phages
A
- Virulent
- Temperate
9
Q
Virulent Phage
A
- infect
- reproduce
- lyse
- Kill bacteria
- Generalized Transduction
10
Q
Temperate Phage
A
- absoprtion, penetration
- DNA incorporates into bacterial chromosome.
- Specialized Transduction
11
Q
Prophage
A
- Integrated Temprate Phage Genome
- Lysogenic
12
Q
Lysogenic
A
- Prophage can become activated
13
Q
Specialized Transduction
A
- penetrate, then INCORPORATES
- becomes a prophage.
- Like a Genetic Time Bomb
14
Q
Generalized Transduction
A
- phage DNA is transcribed,
- replicated
- translated into capsids and enzymes
- bacterial DNA is repressed and destroyed
15
Q
Conjugation
A
- Cell to Cell Contact
- between unrelated bacteria
- Anti-biotic resistance
- must have an F Plasmid
- HOT & HEAVY!
16
Q
F Plasmid
A
- self trasnmissable plasmid
- encodes sex penis
- protrudes from one cell surface to another
- nuclease breaks off & single strand passed through sex pilus (conjugal bridge)
- Remaining strand becomes integrated into neighboring chromosomes (not like Temperate)
17
Q
Plasmid
A
- Circular double stranded DNA
- outside chromosme
- carry many genes
- including drug resistance
18
Q
Hfr, 2 Types of Transfer
A
- normal conjugation w/ F- entire bacterial chromosome transfers fro Hfr recipient
- F Plasmid & DNA, F’ (specialized transduction)
