Short segments of newly synthesized DNA are joined into a continuous strand by?
ligase
What way can DNA segments be changed such that genes are altered or mutated?
Genes are altered in a process known as Mutation
What is the role of restriction enzymes in bacteria?
Restriction enzyme in bacteria cuts of the foreign DNA inside the host, thus destroying them. The host DNA is protected against this destructive action due to methylation of the host DNA.
Which best describes transduction in bacteria?
Bacteria transfer DNA with a bacteriophage.
Are genes small segments of chromosomes?
Yes and No. Chromosomes are made of DNA wound around proteins. Genes are segments of the DNA that code for traits.
Can DNA fragments from human and bacteria be joined?
Yes, DNA SEGMENTS from humans and bacteria are joined by Enzymes
Short segments of newly synthesized DNA are joined into a continuous strand by?
ligase
What are small circular segments of DNA often exchanged between bacteria?
Plasmid
What way can DNA segments be changed such that genes are altered or mutated?
Genes are altered in a process known as Mutation
How is a gene related to the sequence of nucleotides?
Genes are segments of DNA. DNA is made up of polymer of nucleotides joined together. When there is an alteration in the sequence of nucleotides, gene mutation occurs.
Which enzyme is responsible for connecting the short segments of newly synthesized DNA segments?
DNA polymerase
What is the role of restriction enzymes in bacteria?
Restriction enzyme in bacteria cuts of the foreign DNA inside the host, thus destroying them. The host DNA is protected against this destructive action due to methylation of the host DNA.
What is moving fragments of DNA from one organism and inserting them into another organism?
Changing an organism's DNA is called Genetic Engineering. An example is breaking segments of DNA plasmids from a glowing jellyfish off and fusing them with the DNA of a simple bacteria. The genetically modified bacteria reproduces and creates thousands of other bacteria that also glow under UV light. This colony of glowing bacteria are all now Genetically Engineered (And freaks)...

Are genes segments of DNA?
yes! :)
What are the small segments of DNA that control protein formation called?
The segments of DNA that code for a functional product (protein) are called genes.
Which best describes transduction in bacteria?
Bacteria transfer DNA with a bacteriophage.
