What is the bacterium's genetic material called?
the genetic material are called DNA
Additional steps that occur when a hidden virus multiplies?
The virus's genetic material becomes part of the genetic material of the bacterium And After some time he virus's genetic material removes itself and becomes active
What is a prophage-?
Genetic material of a bacteriophage , joined into the genome of a bacterium and able to produce phages if activated
What is the process that a bacterium uses to take in genetic information from another cell?
conjugation
What is the genetic material in a bacterial cell?
Yes it is located in In a bacterial cell, the genetic material is just floating in the cytoplasm in a region called the necleoid. There are no membranes surrounding it.
What is it called when a bacterium uses a virus to transfer its other DNA to another bacterium?
In the process of conjugation bacteria transfers its genetic material to an other bacteria by using sex pilli not any virus.
What is the bacterium's genetic material called?
the genetic material are called DNA
What are two bacteria's that exchange genetic material?
Genetic exchanges among bacteria occur by several mechanisms. In transformation, the recipient bacterium takes up extracellular donor DNA. In transduction, donor DNA packaged in a bacteriophage infects the recipient bacterium. In conjugation, the donor bacterium transfers DNA to the recipient by mating.
What is the tail of a bacteriophage specialized for?
Landing on a bacterium and inserting the viruses genetic material into the bacterium.
What are genetic materials found in a bacterium?
The genetic material in the bacterial cell is DNA.
How do hidden viruses multiply?
1. A virus attaches to a bacterium. 2. The virus injects its genetic material. 3. The genetic material of the virus combines with the bacterium's genetic material. 4. The virus's genetic material detaches from the bacterium's genetic material and the bacterium produces the virus's proteins and genetic material. 5. New viruses assemble. 6. The bacterium bursts open, releasing new viruses.
What is the difference between conjugation and sexduction?
Conjugation is a process in bacteria where genetic material is transferred between two cells through direct physical contact. Sexduction, on the other hand, is a specific type of conjugation where genetic material is transferred along with a sex factor (plasmid) that carries genes for the formation of a sex pilus. This enables the transfer of genetic material specifically related to mating or conjugation.
What type of genetic material do bacteria have?
The genetic material of a bacterium is found floating freely in the cytoplasm.
What is the difference between the location of the genetic material in the bacterium and in the lining of the intestine?
The bactirums genectic material is in the cytoplasm
Additional steps that occur when a hidden virus multiplies?
The virus's genetic material becomes part of the genetic material of the bacterium And After some time he virus's genetic material removes itself and becomes active
What is it called when a bacterium uses a virus to transfer its DNA another bacterium?
Transduction
What is a prophage-?
Genetic material of a bacteriophage , joined into the genome of a bacterium and able to produce phages if activated
