Bacteriophages viruses infect bacterial cells. Ocassionally during viral assembly,host cell DNA is accidently incorporated into the new viral particle instead of phage DNA. THe newly formed bacteriophage particle transfers this DNA to another bacterial cell. What is this process called?

1 conjugation

2 transformation

3 transduction

4 binary fission

5 Abduction

Expert Solution

Bacteriophage viruses infect bacterial cells. Occasionally during viral assembly, host cell DNA is accidentally incorporated into the new viral particle instead of phage DNA. The newly formed bacteriophage particle transfers this DNA to another bacterial cell. This process is known as Transduction.

In transduction, DNA is transferred from one bacteria to another bacteria by a bacteriophage (bacteria infecting virus). In this process, DNA of the host bacteria gets incorporated with the viral particle and now this newly formed bacteriophage particle is transferred to another bacterial cell when the bacteriophage initiated another cycle of infection.

Conjugation- Transfer of genetic material from one bacteria to the other through direct contact.

Transformation- In this process, bacteria take-up foreign genetic material from the surrounding through the cell membrane. Now this exogenous genetic material gets incorporated with host DNA.

Binary fission- This is a process of cell division in a bacterial cell. It is similar to the mitosis in eukaryotic cells.

Abduction- In anatomy, it is a type of movement in which draws a limb away from the median sagittal plane of the body.

Scenario 2. Normally viruses infect a host cell, replicate themselves inside it and burst the host cell so that they can go on infecting other cells. In this viral infection, the virus has stopped the normal apoptotic pathway to allow themselves to stay within the cell indefinitely – a phenomenon known as latency. Further studies on this virus has shown that the virus encodes inhibitors of caspase 8 activation. Scenario 2 describes the development and maintenance of a latent viral...

After viruses infect cells, the empty virions stay attached to the infected cells. Hershey and Chase used a blender to separate empty virion particles from the cells. Why was this important? What would have been the result if they hadn’t done this? a. Many proteins are post-translationally modified with the addition of a phosphate. Could this have affected Hershey and Chase’s experiment? How b. What other weakness may the Hershey Chase experiment have?

What are two regulatory mechanisms phage use to control their gene expression? Please state clearly each mechanism and provide detail explanation.
