1. Many species of bacteria are becoming resistant to antibiotics. Recently, studies have analyzed the chromosomal DNA of antibiotic resistant bacteria. One bacteria studied is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Researchers have found that its chromosomal DNA does not contain the genes for antibiotic resistance. They also found that when MRSA is cultured with a non-resistant bacteria, the non-resistant bacteria becomes antibiotic resistant. a) Identify the location of the antibiotic resistant genes. b) Discuss how the antibiotic resistant genes are being transmitted to non-resistant bacteria when cultured together.
- All living organisms need a transfer of information to allow for genes to direct the synthesis of proteins. Explain how genes are transcribed and translated to produce a functional protein.
- Compare and contrast translation in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
