This image shows the alignment of the promoter from the same gene (gene H) across multiple mammalian and bird species. Predict how the following two mutations will affect the amount of gene expression from gene H in M. musculus (the mouse, underlined with a blue line). A) The T marked by the first arrow is mutated to a G. This will ______expression of gene H. Increase decrease Abolish Not change B) The G marked by the second arrow is mutated to a A. This will _____expression of gene H. Increase decrease Abolish Not change
Bacterial Genomics
The study of the morphological, physiological, and evolutionary aspects of the bacterial genome is referred to as bacterial genomics. This subdisciplinary field aids in understanding how genes are assembled into genomes. Further, bacterial or microbial genomics has helped researchers in understanding the pathogenicity of bacteria and other microbes.
Transformation Experiment in Bacteria
In the discovery of genetic material, the experiment conducted by Frederick Griffith on Streptococcus pneumonia proved to be a stepping stone.
Plasmids and Vectors
The DNA molecule that exists in a circular shape and is smaller in size which is capable of its replication is called Plasmids. In other words, it is called extra-chromosomal plasmid DNA. Vectors are the molecule which is capable of carrying genetic material which can be transferred into another cell and further carry out replication and expression. Plasmids can act as vectors.
