Bacteria Chapter 27.2
What you need to know: Mechanisms that contribute to genetic diversity in prokaryotes, including transformation, conjugation, transduction, and mutation.
Genetic Diversity in Prokaryotes Factors: Rapid reproduction (____________________________) _____________ – errors in replication Genetic ________________________
Genetic Recombination in Bacteria Transformation: uptake of _________________ _______ from surroundings Transduction: ____________ transfer genes between prokaryotes Conjugation: DNA transferred from _________ to ____________________
Transformation Uptake of foreign DNA from surroundings Observed by Griffith (bacteria & mice)
_______________ Small ring of DNA that carries a few genes Replicates ______________________ from bacterial chromosome Can carry genes for ___________________ resistance Used frequently in genetic engineering for gene cloning

Gene Cloning
_______________ Viruses (__________________) carry bacterial genes from one host cell to another Recombine DNA of donor and recipient cell
__________________ One cell _______________ DNA to another Donors cell extends a _________________ (“mating bridge”) through which DNA is transferred Requires the presence of a piece of DNA called the _______________to produce the pilus
