Bernot wrote it so hopefully it is useful • Describe the structure of DNA and discuss how it facilitates the ability of DNA to act as genetic material • Compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic chromosomes • Describe the process of DNA replication as a semi-conservative process. Compare and contrast the synthesis of the leading and lagging strands in DNA replication. • Explain

organisms in order to achieve desired effects. Though this opens the door for creating better immunizations and bacterial colonies that can glow in the presence of poison‚ this also opens the door for sophisticated bioweapons‚ targeted bioterrorism pathogens‚ and artificial superbugs capable of destroying the population. Called the “dual-use research of concern‚” Garrett explains that synthetic genomics research has both beneficial and devastating implications. However‚ she asserts that the negative

Coccus is a term used to describe a type of morphology that helps us distinguish different kinds of bacteria. The cell’s morphology is only one of the many ways we can differentiate the different species. Looking at these bacterium underneath the microscope is an important step to determine which kind of species it is. All cocci bacteria are not gram positive‚ but this lab will examine only this kind because of their influence in human health. Staphylococcus Aureus is a gram-positive coccus bacterium

Bacteria have to developed a variety of mechanisms that allow them to enter the cells of their host‚ whether to replicate or to transmit the pathogen. One method of this is through pili. Pili are thin rods anchored to the outer membrane of bacteria with an adhesin at the tip. This adhesin is what gives the bacteria their binding specificity. Pili can serve a variety of roles such as‚ adhesion or the transfer of material during bacterial conjugation. Fimbria are a type of pili that are solely for

process different from phagocytosis. Lymphocytes function in the immune mechanism‚ the complex process that makes us immune to infectious diseases” (Thibodeau‚ 2014). There is also specific immunity which is “the aspect of your body’s defenses against pathogens that acts against specific molecules‚ usually requiring that your immune system “learn” the properties of specific molecules over a number of days or weeks before mounting an effective response against the foreign material” (Abedon‚ 2003-2014).

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1. ENTEROCOCCUS FAECALIS AND STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS OUTLINE The Human indigenous micro flora consists of opportunistic pathogens along with other nonpathogenic bacterial strains. Two eloquent members of the category of gram- positive bacteria‚ Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus belong to this category. Being a facultative anaerobe‚ aero tolerant anaerobe respectively‚ both of these organisms inhabited the human body for centuries. Ability to thrive in extreme condition

microbes can be assaulted‚ as can bigger life forms‚ for example‚ worms. All things considered‚ these living beings are called pathogens when they cause ailment in the host. All creatures have characteristic resistant protections against normal pathogens. These first lines of protection incorporate external obstructions like the skin and mucous layers. At the point when pathogens rupture the external boundaries‚ for instance through a cut in the skin or when breathed in into the lungs‚ they can bring

Adulteration of food‚ a “Deep Rooted Social Evil” Among man’s everyday needs‚ food plays a major sustaining role. From the simple dish to the most elaborate haute cuisine‚ food preparation is as varied and rich as man’s taste.
