* Question Completion Status: QUESTION 1 All assignments will revolve around the case study therne for the unit. This unit's theme is bacterial infection. For more information on the basics of the immune system, see http://www.nobelprize.org/educational/medicine/imm unity/immune-detail html The following questions relate to the formation of immune ceils and their transport and use in fighting infections. These questions integrate material from across the semester. You should use your notes and apply your knowledge to answer the questions Unfortunately, you have a respiratory infection. You are on antibiotics, but you hurry out of the hospital as fast as you can so you don't pick up any antibiotic resistance genes as well. If genes were transferred directly environment, you could pick up a resistance gene by breathing the air. What type of gene transfer allows cells to pick up genes directly from the environment? OConjugation ?Alot the above QUESTION2 To treat your infection, your doctor prescribes an antibiotic. This antibiotic inbibits the movement of a tRNA from the P-site to the E-site. Which step of translation does the antibiotic inhibit? O Amino acid entry Peptidyl transfer Translocation Ribosome assemhlv Cliek Save and Submit to save and submit.

Explanation / Answer

Transformation is the only way that allows the cells to picup the DNA (Genes ) directly from the environmrnt.The other two mechanisams such as Conjugation and Transduction can not picup the DNA (Genes) directly from the environment.Conjugation needs a conjugation tube formation between two cells through that tube DNA (Genes) exchange takes place.Transduction requires bacterophages to transform the genes from one cell to another.

The movement of P-site t-RNA from P-site to E-site (and A-site t-RNA from A-site to P-site) occurs together after the peptidyltransfarse step and this step is called Translocation.The above mentioned Antibiotic does the same it inhibits the movement of P-site t-RNA from P-site to E-site.
