What type of genetic recombination in bacteria involves DNA transfer by viruses?
There are many ways that genetic recombination could occur in bacteria. One way that it occurs is because of habitat.
What are three ways that prokaryotes are like?
Both have a cell membrane, genetic material, and ribosomes.
During conjugation which what structures does a bacteria form that is used to transfer DNA?
conjugation occurs between two bacterial cells and transfers DNA in the form of plasmids. this is one way to transfer of genetic material - it is not sexual reproduction, The other two ways to transfer genetic material between bacteria are transformation and transduction. In order to be able to perform coagulation (transfer of a plasmid) the bacteria must have an F factor (DNA that codes for the PILI protein, which allows the bacteria to create a bridge through which the bacteria inject the plasmid to another bacteria). Bacteria with F factor is called F+, and without it is called F-. F+ can transfer the plasmid to an F- bacteria.
Are all cell the same if not what ways are they different?
All the cells are same in that they have the same genetic material in them. All the cells are different in that they perform the different functions as per allotted by genetic material.
Describe the three ways that bacteria can gain genetic diversity?
There are three main forms of horizontal transmission used to spread genes between members of the same or different species: conjugation (bacteria-to-bacteria transfer), transduction (viral-mediated transfer), and transformation (free DNA transfer).
What are three ways that prokaryotes are like eukaryotes?
Both have a cell membrane, genetic material, and ribosomes.
In what way or ways are daughter cells and parent cells the same?
In mitosis (one parent cell), the daughter cells have the same genetic material as the parent (unless there is a mutation). In meiosis (two parent cells), the daughter cell/s will share some genetic material with either parent.
Meiosis aids in evolution because it what?
Because of genetic recombination and this is done in three ways. The independent orientation of chromosomes at prometaphase, crossing over and the process of random fertilization all insure a good recombination of genetic material.
How do meiosis and sexual reproduction fertilization produce offspring that differ genetically from the parents?
Meiosis maintains genetic diversity in two ways:1) Genetic recombination: the exchange of genetic material between sister chromatids2) By random assortment of paternal and maternal chromosomes and the alleles of genes they contain.
How do you stop bacteria from multiplying?
Bacteria grows rapidly and there a ways and one of the main ways to stop them from multiplying is to kill them with alcohol or chemicals
What are 3 ways bacteria reproduce sexually?
Bacteria only reproduce by binary fission, although there are several ways that individual bacteria recombine and exchange genetic material.In binary fission (a kind of asexual reproduction), a bacterium's DNA replicates and the one-celled organism splits into two separate, independent bacteria.In conjugation (which is similar to, but technically not, sexual reproduction) two individual bacteria get together and one sends out a bridge of cytoplasm to the other. This "male" bacterium then transfers some of its DNA to the "female" bacterium.In transformation, bacteria pick up bits of genetic material (called plasmids) from their environments, often by engulfing another bacterium or smaller organism.In transduction, viruses pick up bits of DNA from one bacterium, which they then insert into the next individual they infect.All of these methods of genetic recombination increase the variety in bacterial DNA, making them very good at adapting to their environments. This is partially why anti-bacterial-resistant bacteria develop.
What bacteria get food in two ways?
