BIO 2051 upcoming exam 2 practice test chs 6,7,9,12,25,26 Chapter 6 1) secretion systems can either help cells to excrete products to the outside or into the neighboring cells T/F True 2) The Tat system is involved in D) protein secretion Chapter 7 3) Regulatory proteins (select the BEST answer) D) regulate transcription, bind specific DNA sites, and can be influenced by small molecules (all of the above). Hint: make sure to read the long answer in its entirety (for example, this answer D is basically “all of the above “ answer. It just does NOT contain “all of the above words 4) The lac operon is an example of ________ control in which the presence of an ________ is required for transcription to occur. C) negative / activator (Inducible / inducer ) 5) Which type of regulator(s) specifically binds to operator regions of DNA? D) Repressors 6) The stringent response is a mechanism used by bacteria that provides increased ability to survive in environments lacking nutrients. T/F TRUE 7) What occurs when an inducer is added to an environment containing an organism with a metabolic pathway controlled by a repressor? A) The inducer combines with the repressor and activates the pathway. 8) An organism grown in nutrient rich broth to high turbidity always produces a blue pigment. When a large inoculum is transferred to a nutrient rich agar plate, it also appears blue. A
researcher noticed that this never happens when very small colonies are grown on low nutrient agar plates, however. What is the most plausible conclusion? C) Production of the blue pigment production is linked to quorum sensing. 9.) All of the following are functions of heat shock proteins in bacteria EXCEPT D) stimulation of binary fission. Ch 9 Genetics of bacteria and Archaea 10. A mutant that has a nutritional requirement for growth is an example of a(n) B) auxotroph. 11) The uptake of free DNA from the environment is referred to as ________, while the transfer of DNA with cell-to-cell contact is known as ________. A) transformation / conjugation 12. Hfr strains of Escherichia coli C) have an integrated F factor. have integrated F factor. (They don't have complete F factor though, so that's why answers that include " complete F" are not correct 13.) A point mutation refers to mutations involving ʺ ʺ D) a substitution, deletion, or addition of one base-pair. 14.The F (fertility) plasmid contains a set of genes that encode for the ________ proteins that are essential in conjugative transfer of DNA. A) pili 15) Which mutations might result in the most detrimental impact on the host? C) Frameshift mutation Ch 12 biotechnology and genetic engineering
16. Cells that have "insertional inactivation" of the lacZ gene are B) white. 17 ) Which time period(s) during PCR thermocycling is/are hottest in temperature? A) During DNA denaturation 18)The enzyme that covalently links both strands of a vector and inserted DNA in molecular cloning is A) DNA ligase. 19 ) What makes eukaryotic transcripts easier to isolate than bacterial transcripts? C) mRNA is polyadenylated in eukaryotes. 20 ) The principle behind nucleic acid probe design is that the probe itself must contain A) a key complementary part of the target gene sequence of interest. 21) In one step of cloning, the gene of interest is inserted inside the vector (e.g., a plasmid- based vector pUC 19 ), at a specific site, located on the lacZ gene. Cells that have "insertional inactivation" of the lacZ gene are B) white 22.) Genetic engineering of plants involves what types of vectors? A) Ti-plasmid based vectors Ch 25 Microbial pathogenesis (question numbers 10- 12) 23) Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes strains can produce ________ that cause(s) the severe and sometimes life-threatening symptoms of toxic shock syndrome. B) superantigen toxins 24) Which of the following is NOT important for the adherence of bacteria to host tissues? A) Lipopolysaccharides 25) The spread of pathogens through the blood and lymph systems that results in a bloodborne systemic infection is called
