Transposons and integrons — Flashcards

Transposition of bacterial DNA allows for transfer of bacterial DNA amongst different strains, such as resistance to _____

_____ is the transfer of random DNA between bacteria using bacteriophages

_____ is a -lactamase producing bacteria resistant to penicillin.

_____ bacterial DNA transduction occurs when bacterial chromosomal DNA is packaged in the phage, resulting in transfer of bacterial DNA with lysis of the bacteria

Which viral gene in HIV codes for its Integrase?_____

_____ bacterial DNA transduction stems from incorporation of viral DNA into bacterial DNA; excision of viral DNA results in excision of bacterial DNA as well

What glial cell type serves as the CNS phagocyte?

Microglia derive from what embryologial predecessor?

Where do the genes for bacterial exotoxins reside?

What bacteria are particularly adept at transformation of environmental DNA?
