If DNA receptors on the cell surface of a bacterial cell were mutated and nonfunctional, how would that effect the bacterial cell?
-The cell would die.
-The cell would be incapable of accepting naked DNA from the environment.
-The cell would be incapable of integrating naked DNA from the environment into its genome.
-The cell would be incapable of conjugation.
-The cell would be incapable of transduction.
Homework Answers
The cell would be incapable of accepting naked DNA from the environment (Transformation).
Gene transformation is the uptake of genes directly from the surrounding environment (naked gene transfer). These genes first bind to the receptors on cell surface and then enter the cell. If these genes become inactivated, cell cannot accept the naked genes from the environment, and fail to carryout trasformation process.

How does a transformed bacterial cell obtain new DNA? See Section 8.5 (Page 186) . transfer of a duplicated plasmid between from one bacterial cells to another the uptake of naked DNA from the surrounding environment transfer of bits of DNA by a virus that infects the bacterial cell One bacterial cell transfers DNA to another through a physical bridge called a pilus.

If 100% of the DNA contents of a transducing bacteriophage were DNA from the host chromosome, what would happen when the bacteriophage infected a new bacterial cell? Group of answer choices The bacteriophage would be converted from a lysogenic phage to a lytic bacteriophage. The new bacterial cell would die. No more bacteriophage would be synthesized, as there is no bacteriophage genome available to direct synthesis. More bacteriophage would be synthesized, resulting in death of the new bacterial cell. The...

Please classify each statement as describing transformation, conjugation, or transduction in bacteria. Bacteria can acquire plasmids from outside the cell. A bacterium that contains an F plasmid connects to a recipient bacterium that lacks an F plasmid with an appendage called a pilus, through which the plasmid is transferred. Some bacterial DNA fragments may be included when new phage particles are assembled. A cell can be treated to make it competent to take up DNA from its environment. When a...
