QUESTION 11 Match each of the following terms with its correct definition. B. "Conjugation F. Transduction D. Transformation A Transcription E. Translation C. Replication A Process of making mRNA from DNA 8. Two bacteria join by a sex pillus (f pillus) to exchange fragments of DNA C. Process of making two identical strands of DNA from a parent strand of DNA D. A bacterial cell dies, lyses, and leaks its DNA into the surrounding solution. Other bacteria absorb fragments of this DNA E. Process of using the linear code in mRNA to line up amnino acids in the correct order in the synthesis of protein F. A bacterial virus (bacteriophage) infects a bacteria, eventually carrying fragments of its DNA to other bacteria.

Explanation / Answer

A) Process of making mRNA from DNA - Transcription.

Transcription is the process by which DNA is transcribed in to mRNA, which carries the information that are required for protein synthesis.

B) Two bacteria join by a sex-pilus (f-pilus) to exchange fragments of dna - Conjugation.

Bacterial conjugation is the transfer of genetic material between bacterial cells by the sex-pilus or direct cell-to-cell contact.

C) Process of making two identical strands of DNA from a parent strand of DNA - Replication.

Replication is the process, which produces two identical replicas of DNA from one original DNA molecule.

D) A bacterial cell dies lysis and leaks its DNA into the surrounding solution. Other bacteria absorb fragments of this DNA - Transformation.

Transformation is a bacterial process. In this process, DNA released into the environment by the lysis of cells is directly taken up by other cells and recombined with their DNA.

E) Process of using the linear code in mRNA to line up amino acids in the correct order in the synthesis of protein - Translation.

Translation is the process, which translates the sequence of mRNA molecule to a sequence of amino acids during the process of protein synthesis.

F) A bacterial virus infects bacteria, eventually carrying fragments of its DNA to other bacteria - Transduction.

Transduction is the process by which foreign DNA is introduced into a cell by a virus or viral vector.
