Study 2b Prokaryotic Genetics in MCAT Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems with focused flashcards that help you recognize the idea, recall the key rule, and apply it in practice-style prompts.

QUESTION

What is the usual outcome for donor and recipient after F+ × F− conjugation?

Tap card or press Space to flip

ANSWER

Donor remains F+; recipient becomes F+. During conjugation, a copy of the F plasmid is transferred, allowing both cells to potentially act as donors afterward.

In a study of transformation, a naturally competent bacterial strain (Strain X) was incubated with purified DNA from Strain Y carrying a point mutation in gyrA that confers ciprofloxacin resistance (CipR). Cultures were treated with DNase I either during the incubation or after 30 minutes, then plated on ciprofloxacin. CipR colonies were recovered only when DNase I was added after 30 minutes. Which statement is most consistent with the bacterial behavior described?
