You are tutoring a fellow student about the genomes of prokaryotes. You ask them to give you one important characteristic about the genomes of bacteria. Which of the following statement given by your student is correct? -Bacterial cells can contain DNA called plasmids. -The bacterial chromosome is not contained within a nucleus but, rather, is found at the nucleolus -Bacterial genomes are diploid throughout most of the cell cycle. -Bacterial genomes are composed of linear DNA. -Bacterial cells have multiple chromosomes, "packed" with a relatively large amount of protein.

A) O Slime layer: loose assemblage of polysaccharide material external to the cell envelope B) O Polysome or polyribosome formation: multiple ribosomes binding to a messenger RNA transcript C) O Replisome: two of these complexes working in opposite directions are needed to copy the bacterial chromosome D) O Nucleoid: cytoplasmic area containing the bacterial chromosome E) OA-D are all correctly matched
Binary fission in bacteria is beneficial for all of the following reasons EXCEPT: Group of answer choices Mutation rates in prokaryotes are high due to short generation times Prokaryotes can copy themselves in as little as 20 minutes, resulting in rapid population growth Prokaryotes can undergo rapid evolution due to the high mutation rates The daughter cells that are produced are genetically identical to the parent cell
Which group of microorganisms is most likely to spoil a freshwater trout preserved with salt? Would you be susceptible to foodborne infection if you were to eat this spoiled fish? Two daughter cells are most likely to inherit which one of the following from the parent cell? (why/why not for each) - a change in a nucleotide in mRNA -a change in a nucleotide in tRNA -a change in a nucleotide in rRNA -a change in a nucleotide in DNA -a change in a protein
Instead of randomly placed DNA within the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell, it seems that regions of DNA are specifically placed in exact locations within the organelle. Which of the following would be an advantage to DNA organization within the nucleus? Organized regions of DNA within the nucleus would aid the cell specifically in preventing viruses from attaching to the DNA Specific regions in the nucleus contains high concentrations of Polymerases and Transcription Factors which would localize DNA Specific regions in the nucleus contains specific portions of DNA and the reason is not yet understood in science

You are studying RNA viruses and have discovered a new one that grows well in a culture of eukaryotic cells. You know that the virus is a single-stranded RNA virus, but you don’t know if it is plus or minus stranded. Your lab-mate says, “Well, just treat your cell culture with cyclohexamide and see if the virus replicates its genome.” You know that cyclohexamide inhibits protein elongation by binding to eukaryotic ribosomes. What is the basis of your lab-mate’s suggestion?
