3 0

Answer:

Pili

Explanation:

The sex of bacteria is determined by a structure called Pilli. Pilli is not present in all species of bacteria, but within species that have this structure, such as Escherichia coli, pilli is considered an appendage present in male bacteria.

Pilli presents itself as a long hair and can also be called F factor or fertility factor and has a reproductive function, as it allows the conjunction between two bacteria (one with pili and the other without), where the male bacteria transmit genetic resources to within the body of the female bacteria , which will combine these resources with its own resources and will give rise to another bacteria.

Describe Seymour Brenner's contribution to cracking the genetic code with respect to translation.
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Seymour Benzer used phage T4 mutants, Experimental evidence that a gene is a linear sequence of nucleotide pairs. Some regions of chromosomes have "hot spots" for mutations. Benzer's experimental approach to fine structure mapping of the rII locus.  Generated 1612 spontaneous point mutations and several deletions in rII locus identified two complementation groups, rIIA and rIIB.  Mapped locations of deletions relative to each other using recombination.  Mapped locations of point mutations relative to the deletions. Tested for recombination between all point mutations within the same complementation group.

Explain how mitotic recombination leads to the mosaic condition termed twin spots.
postnew [5]

Answer:

If an individual Drosophila has two or more populations of cells comprising different genotypes from one single egg then it is termed as twin spots or mosaic.

Explanation:

There might be different reasons for mosaic to occur like

Nondisjunctioning of the chromosomes

Lag in anaphase

Endoreplication

Mutations in a single cell

Mitotic recombination:

One of the major ways through which mosaic or twin spots arise is the mitotic recombination. It is also termed as somatic cross over. Twin spot or mosaic generally occurs if there is linking of heterozygous genes in repulsion. The recombination generally happens among the centromeres from the adjacent genes.

A common example of the mitotic recombination is the Bloom's syndrome. Bloom's syndrome is caused due to the mutation that occurs in the <em>blm</em> gene. As a result, there are defects in the BLM protein produced.
