random bits test 3

Question 0

Transformation

Answer 0

DNA released from one bacterium is taken up by another.

Question 1

There are several copies of genes for each tRNA, a mutation in one copy will result in a percentage (say ~5%) of that specific tRNA that are mutated.

Answer 1

.

Question 2

Transduction

Answer 2

When a virus acts as an unwitting agent of bacterial DNA transfer; the virus transfers a fragment of bacterial DNA from one cell to another.

Question 3

Conjugation

Answer 3

Bacterial Sexy Time.

Conjugation, unlike transformation, requires cell-cell contact and the DNA (a copy) is passed across a bridge that forms temporarily between the pair of mating cells.

Question 4

what interacts in complementation?

Answer 4

usually gene products like proteins

Question 5

how many tRNAs for a codon “family”?

Answer 5

rules vary a bit, but generally one tRNA for any 2 codon family, such as AGU/C, and 2 different tRNAs for a 4 codon family, such as UCX (ser).
