Question

1. You discover a new antimicrobial that inhibits protein synthesis by binding to the mRNA. What class does this new drug most likely belong in?

macrolides.

2.Select all of the accurate statements below.

Archea have histone proteins associated with their DNA, while bacteria do not have histones.

The chromosomes and plasmids in bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes contain double-stranded DNA.

Most bacteria and archaea have circular DNA in the cytoplasm, while most eukaryotes have linear DNA in the nucleus.

All of the DNA in eukaryotic cells is contained within a nucleus.

beta-lactams. antisense nucleic acids. nucleic acid analogs. aminoglycosides.

macrolides.

2.Select all of the accurate statements below.

Most bacteria and archaea have circular DNA in the cytoplasm, while most eukaryotes have linear DNA in the nucleus.

All of the DNA in eukaryotic cells is contained within a nucleus.

Explanation / Answer

1)Aminoglycoside antimicrobial bind with subunit of bacterial ribosome and leads to misreading of messenger template RNA inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis.

2)Most bacteria and archea have circular DNA in the cytoplasm, while most eukaryotes contains linear DNA in the nucleus.
