Bacterial and Viral Genetics
These types of bacteria have the ability to synthesize all the compounds needed for growth
What are prototrophs
This is the uptake of free DNA
What is transformation
Can result in aneuploidy
What is non-disjunction?
Nucleotides are composed of these three groups
What is a sugar, base, and phosphate group?
Recombination occurs between these types of chromatids
What are non-sister chromatids?
Uses the metabolic machinery of
the host cell to produce progeny viruses and kills
the host in the process
Virulent (lytic) bacteriophage
The direct transfer of DNA from one bacterium to another
What is conjugation?
organism in which a chromosome or segment of
a chromosome is overrepresented
What is hyperploidy?
occur without a known cause due to inherent metabolic
errors or unknown agents in the environment
What are spontaneous mutations
This is Matt's ethnicity
What is Filipino?
Can enter into a special association with the
host and replicate its genome along with the
host cell’s genome during each cell duplication
What is a lysogenic pathway?
The transfer of bacterial DNA via a bacteriophage
What is transduction?
Interchange of segment(s) between two nonhomologous chromosomes
What are translocations?
replace a pyrimidine with a purine or a
purine with a pyrimidine
What are transversions?
This stage of mitosis is when the chromosomes start lining up on the meta phasal plate
What is metaphase?
Random or nearly random fragment of bacterial
DNA is packaged in the phage head in place of the phage chromosome
What is Generalized transduction?
A cell that has an integrated F Factor
What is a high frequency recombinant cell (Hfr cell)?
What is a pericentric inversion?
Sequence change that does result in an amino acid change
What is a missense mutation?
Synapsis occurs during this phase of meiosis
What is Prophase I?
recombination event occurs between the host
chromosome and the phage chromosome, producing a phage chromosome that contains a piece of bacterial DNA
What is specialized transduction?

Can result in a truncated protein
What is a nonsense mutation?
The phenotypic ratio that results from a dihybrid cross
What is 9:3:3:1 ratio?
