Why is an exonuclease required for transformation of a naturally competent cell? Why is an exonuclease NOT required for successful HGT via conjugation?
1. Exonuclease breaks the DNA fragments, which are most effective, and separates them which can be further used for production of required proteins which will help survival even in normal cells which are competent.
2. HGT(horizontal gene transfer) via conjugation is a kindoff reproduction method in bacteria. It requires transfer of genetic material from one to another so it doesn't require exonuclease because no specific gene is required to be transferred.

What is required for cells to be considered "naturally competent"? Electroporation Tra machinery Com machinery O Heat shock
What process requires contact between the donor cell and the recipient cell? A. transformation B. transduction C. transcription D. conjugation
What process requires contact between the donor cell and the recipient cell? A. transformation B. transduction C. transcription D. conjugation
Please classify each statement as describing transformation, conjugation, or transduction in bacteria. Bacteria can acquire plasmids from outside the cell. A bacterium that contains an F plasmid connects to a recipient bacterium that lacks an F plasmid with an appendage called a pilus, through which the plasmid is transferred. Some bacterial DNA fragments may be included when new phage particles are assembled. A cell can be treated to make it competent to take up DNA from its environment. When a...
Answer the following questions: a) Explain why conjugation with an Hfr cell always results in the transfer of genes in the same order? (0.75 marks) b) Why does transformation result in only half of the progeny of the transformed cell carrying the alternate allele? (0.75 marks)
For the following please select the correct answer and explain why that answer is correct. 1)The uptake of free DNA from the environment ________, while transfer of DNA with cell-to-cell contact would most likely result in ________. a) transformation / conjugation b)conjugation / transformation c) transformation / transduction 2) A deleterious mutation in recA results in: a) a decrease in homologous recombination. b) an increase in homologous recombination. c) no change in either general or specific recombination.
CLASS: Cell Biology (Biology 204) TOPIC: Bacterial transformation, purification, and recombination Why does the plasmid DNA remain intact while the bacterial chromosome is sheared and subsequently lost during the miniprep procedure?
decribe why duplication mutations can sometimes be harmful to cell/organism and propose an example of how a duplication mutation can be beneficial evolutionary step for a cell/organism. Develop a rationale as to why eukaryotes have developed/evolved multiple mechanisms to repair DNA damage (polymerase 1 exonuclease activity, base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair mismatch repair, etc)
mechanisms of recombination from donor to recipient cell
