Question 1

Pneumococcus transfers DNA between living type RII and heat-killed type SIII cells is known as ________.
◦ transformation
◦ replication
◦ transduction
◦ ligation
◦ conjugation
Question 2
What is one difference between DNA replication in bacteria versus eukaryotes?
◦ Eukaryotic chromosomes are replicated bi-directionally, while bacterial chromosomes are replicated in one direction.
◦ Eukaryotic chromosomes have many origins of replication and replicate bi-directionally, while bacteria have only one origin of replication and replicate uni-directionally.
◦ Bacterial chromosomes are replicated bi-directionally, while eukaryotic chromosomes are replicated in one direction.
◦ Eukaryotic chromosomes have many origins of replication, while bacteria have only one origin of replication.
◦ The process is identical in bacterial and eukaryotic DNA replication.
