Bacteria usually contain a single chromosome which makes the cell

• Haploid

• Diploid

• Euploid

• Polyploid

What are viruses that infect a bacteria cell?

• Bacteriophage

• E. coli

• Prototroph

• Transformation

A circular piece of DNA, found in bacteria, is called:

• A plasmid

• mRNA

• Ribosome

• Nucleotide

Which is used to cut DNA molecules at specific points?

• gel electrophoresis
• PCR analysis
• a restriction enzyme
• recombinant DNA

What is transformation?

• The use of viruses to transform or genetically

  
  

  engineer cells.

• The measure of how well cells are transformed in a new phenotype.

• The insertion of a foreign plasmid into a bacterial cell which results in new acquired traits.

• Genetic engineering or transformation of mammalian cells.

Observe the results above. What gene is present in the engineered plasmid?

• kanamycin resistant gene

• ampicillin resistant gene

• tetracycline resistant gene

• No plasmid is necessary to grow on plate 3.

Contains only organic carbon source and select ions

• Minimal medium

• Blood medium

• Chocolate medium

• XLD agar

Bacteria that can grow on minimal medium

• Prototroph

• Auxotroph

Bacteria that cannot grow on minimal medium

• Prototroph

• Auxotroph
