This enzyme, normally produced only in bacteria, can cut DNA at a palindromic sequence.
What is a restriction enzyme?
100
Cellular respiration requires these two reactants.
What are oxygen and glucose?
100
This happens to DNA all the time, and is the driving force of evolution.
What is mutation?
100
These microorganisms are present in and on your body right now.
What are normal flora?
100
Results when a person gets a deep-wound infection of multidrug resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
What is MRSA?
200
This type of cut by a restriction enzyme leaves ends that desire hydrogen bonding with matching nucleotides.
What are "sticky ends"?
200
This is the toxic form of the final electron acceptor in cellular respiration.
What is superoxide anion?
200
Bacteria have evolved to have resistance to modern antibiotics. Where are these resistance genes located?
What are plasmids?
200
This type of disease results when normal microorganisms overgrow.
What is opportunistic?
200
Results when Staphylococcus aureus overgrows on the body, typically on a baby.
What is Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome (SSSS)?
300
This method is used to determine the exact order of the bases in a gene.
What is Sanger method of DNA sequencing?
300
The term for organisms that can only breathe oxygen.
What are obligate aerobes?
300
Why did evolution of antibiotic resistance take only 80 years, while evolution of humans took 10,000 years?
What is rapid reproduction?
300
What normal skin bacteria eat.
What is you (carbohydrates and oils, mostly)!
300
HIV is an example of this type of virus.
What is lysogenic?
400
This type of gene is always included when genetically engineering a plasmid, so that bacteria that take up this plasmid can be selected over those that do not.
What is a gene for antibiotic resistance?
400
The location of the electron transport chain for prokaryotes.
What is cellular membrane?
400
In addition to reproduction, bacteria can pass antibiotic resistant genes to other bacteria by this method?
What is conjugation?
400
Where Staphylococcus aureus lives on you.
What is on skin/in nose?
400
This virus is transmitted via saliva. Anyone showing the symptoms of the disease...WILL DIE!
What is rabies?
500
This technique amplifies the amount of DNA.
What is PCR?
500
This molecule can become acetyl CoA, or lactic acid, or ethanol, depending on which enzyme it enters.
What is pyruvate?
500
If the punctuated equilibrium view of evolution is correct, no new antibiotics are discovered, there is no genetic drift or natural selection, what will today's bacteria look like in 100 years?
What is the same as today?
500
What normal Staphylococcus aureus is doing for your body right now.
What is "taking up available real estate" so that pathogenic bacteria can't colonize?
