Full Description
This exam focuses on the various recombination mechanisms in microbial genetics, delineating the processes of homologous recombination, non-homologous end joining, and other alternatives. It emphasizes their implications for genetic diversity.
Recombination is critical in microbial genetics, influencing genetic exchange and diversity. Understanding these mechanisms informs approaches in genetic engineering and the control of pathogenic microorganisms.
Candidates will demonstrate the ability to articulate specific recombination processes and their biological significance. Emphasis will be on the understanding of how these mechanisms impact genetic variability.
Students may be evaluated on their ability to provide concrete examples of recombination in natural microbial populations and how these processes can be leveraged in research.
Sample Questions
- What distinguishes homologous recombination from non-homologous end joining?
- How does recombination contribute to genetic diversity in microbial populations?
