Which episome is carrying chromosomal fragment?
F episomes is carriying chromosomal fragmebt
What is the difference between plasmid and episomes?
Plasmid DNA is an extra-chromosomal DNA molecule, it cannot link up with chromosomal DNA, and it contains the genetic informations that are necessary for its own replication. Episomes is any kind of extra-chromosomal DNA that can link up with chromosomal DNA. That is the main difference between them two. Episomes are usually larger than other extra-chromosomal DNA. An example of episome are the viruses, because they intergrate their genetic material into the host's chromosomal DNA.The only difference between the plasmid and the episome is the integration i-e plasmid can not integrate while episome can integrate into the genome.
What is a F factor?
The Fertility factor allows genes to be transferred from one bacterium carrying the factor to another bacterium lacking the factor by conjugation. The F factor is carried on the F episome
Why do you often use JM109 strain of E. coli as lab strain?
E.coli JM 109 is the most preferred strain in carrying out recombinant DNA techniques as it known to possess a stable genotype. This Strain also contains a F`episome which helps in blue/white screening and ss DNA rescue . It is used for the preparation of ssDNA , gene library construction and also cloning.
When does an f plus cell become and Hfr cell?
An Hfr cell (also called an Hfr strain) is a bacterium with a conjugative plasmid (often the F-factor) integrated into its genomic DNA. Hfr is the abbreviation for high frequency recombination, which was first characterized by Luca Cavalli-Sforza. Unlike a normal F+ cell, hfr strains will, upon conjugation with a F− cell, attempt to transfer their entire DNA through the mating bridge, not to be confused with the pilus. This occurs because the F factor has integrated itself via an insertion point in the bacterial chromosome. Due to the F factor's inherent nature to transfer itself during conjugation, the rest of the bacterial genome is dragged along with it, thus making such cells very useful and interesting in terms of studying gene linkage and recombination. Because the genome's rate of transfer through the mating bridge is constant, molecular biologists and geneticists can use Hfr strain of bacteria (often E. coli) to study genetic linkage and map the chromosome. The procedure commonly used for this is called interrupted mating.A bacterium may undergo conjugation. During this process, genetic material is transferred to another bacterium through the mating bridge. It is yet undetermined if the Pili transfer DNA or if these structures are simply used to bring mating bacteria close enough to form a mating bridge.[1] To form pili, an F plasmid is required. The F plasmid consists of 28 genes which are mostly required for the production of the pilus. F+ denotes cells that contain the F plasmid, while F− cells do not. The F plasmid is considered to be an episome which may become integrated into the main chromosome. When the F genes become integrated into the chromosome, the cell is said to be Hfr (high frequency of recombination). An Hfr cell may transfer F genes to an F− cell. During this transfer of genetic material, the F episome may take chromosomal DNA with it. The donor cell does not lose any genetic material as anything transferred is replicated concurrently. It is extremely rare that an Hfr cell's chromosome is transferred in its entirety. Homologous recombination occurs when the newly acquired DNA crosses over with the homologous region of its own chromosome.A structure as fragile as a mating bridge will, however, likely break, and so the transfer is rarely complete. Thus, the F− cell uses only part of the genomic DNA of the Hfr cell for recombination. Though there is some debate on the issue, the pili themselves are not the structures through which the actual exchange of DNA takes place; rather, a Type IV secretion system is used to transfer DNA between the bacteria.
What is the function of an episome?
1). It provides selective advantage to the host. 2). Through episome we can know that the genetic material has been transfered to the next generation or not. 3).It may locate gene location.

What is the tallest mountain in our galaxy?
If Im not mistaken,it should be in Mars.Or that was the tallest or largest volcano. ~Episome says: The highest mountain in this galaxy is Olympus Mons on mars, so you where close enough :)
