During transformation, a DNA fragment that has bound to a cell surface receptor is cut into smaller fragments by an extracellular_________. After the DNA has been taken up by the cell, it is incorporated into the bacterial chromosome by homologous __________.

between members of the same species or members of different species

Horizontal gene transfer is possible

By excision of an F factor from a bacterial chromosome.

minute

the unit of measure that is used for the distance between two genes on a bacterial chromosome is the

What is a plasmid?

A plasmid that can integrate into a chromosome.

What is an episome?

Transfer of DNa to a recipient that is not the offspring of the donor organism

What is horizontal gene transfer?

They make contact with recipient cells.

It allows the plasmid to be copied separately from the bacterial chromosome.

What is the significance of a plasmid's origin of replication?

Wollman and Jacob

What pair of scientists carried out the first genetic mapping experiments in bacteria in the 1950's?

depends on both the location and orientation of the origin of transfer

When Hfr strains are compared to one another, the order in which genes are transferred to recipient strains

artificial

When a scientist uses transformation to introduce foreign DNA into cells in the laboratory, it is called _______ transformation in order to distinguish this process from transformation that occurs naturally.

plasmid

A DNA molecule that can exist independently of the bacterial chromosome is called a(n)

order

Based on the time it takes for different genes to be transferred from an Hfr strain to an F- strain, one can deduce the ________ of genes along the bacterial chromosome.

relaxase

During conjugation, the DNA that is transferred is part of a nucleoprotein complex that contains single-stranded DNA and a protein called _____

relaxosome

During conjugation, the protein that recognizes the origin of transfer in the F factor, cuts one of the strands, and then separates two DNA strands is called the

origin of transfer

During conjugation, the starting point and direction of DNA transfer are determined by a DNA sequence within the F factor called the
