During conjugation, one bacterium serves as the donor of the genetic material, and the other serves as the recipient. The donor bacterium carries a DNA sequence called the fertility factor, or F-factor. The F-factor allows the donor to produce a thin, tubelike structure called a pilus, which the donor uses to contact the recipient. The pilus then draws the two bacteria together, at which time the donor bacterium transfers genetic material to the recipient bacterium. Typically, the genetic material is in the form of a plasmid, or a small, circular piece of DNA. The genetic material transferred during conjugation often provides the recipient bacterium with some sort of genetic advantage. For instance, in many cases, conjugation serves to transfer plasmids that carry ______ genes.
antibiotic resistance

DSDNA
what is the purpose of dipicolinic acid and calcium in the spore coat?
Dipicolinic acid forms a complex with calcium ions within the endospore core. This complex binds free water molecules, causing dehydration of the spore. As a result, the heat resistance of macromolecules within the core increases.

Endospores enable bacteria to lie dormant for extended periods, even centuries. When the environment becomes more favorable, the endospore can reactivate itself to the vegetative state. NOTE: Most types of bacteria cannot change to the endospore form.
what is the difference between run and tumble?
In a run, three flagella spontaneously form a bundle and the cell swims straight, whereas, in a tumble, a reversal of a motor and the transformations of the associated flagellum trigger unbundling of the flagellum and reorientation of the cell.
Does the amount of flagella on prokaryotes vary? How does it work to be able to maneuver the damm thing?
It varies; one prokaryote could have one flagella, none, many, and can be in different positions The flagella of domains bacteria and archaea are different. They still move the cell, but they do so by rotating, rather than by bending from the inside like eukaryotic flagella. The flagella of archaeans are superficially similar to those of bacteria. However, there are key differences. To begin with, the two types of flagella move differently. Bacterial flagella are powered by the flow of ions, usually hydrogen, but sometimes sodium. They are composed of individual fibers that rotate individually. By contrast, achaeal flagella appear to be powered by ATP, the same chemical that powers eukaryotic flagella. Archaeal fibers are also bundled and rotate as one.

In the first phase, the diploid cell divides into two haploid daughter cells. And in the second phase these two daughter cells divide into four haploid daughter cells, later turns into sex gametes, spermatids in male and egg in female.
replication defective virus vector DNA vs mRNA vaccines
Viral vectors that are genetically modified to make replication-defective are called non-replicating vectors. Eventually, the virus gains an attenuated state wherein it can still be able to trigger the desired human immune responses, but cannot replicate in human cells. mRNA vaccines work by introducing a piece of mRNA that corresponds to a viral protein, usually a small piece of a protein found on the virus's outer membrane.
