Text SolutionText solutionverified iconVerified

Prokaryotic cells are those cell that does not possess membrane-bounded nucleus e.g., bacteria, cyanobacteria. The characteristics of prokaryotic cells are as follows:
1. They are small in size 0.1 mm to 10 mm.
2. They do not possess membrane-bound organelles.
3. They have single circular DNA as genetic material and plasmid.
4. They possess mesosomes for respiration.
5. Some are autotrophic and some are saprotrophic.

In the E. coli genome, cytosine methylation occurs on both DNA strands at the internal cytosine in the palindromic target DNA sequence diagrammed below. The W nucleotide in the middle symbolizes either an A or a T. This particular palindromic DNA sequence is also recognized and cleaved by the restriction enzyme EcoRII. 5'--.--CCWGG--3' 3'-.--GGWCC---5 Describe why this particular DNA sequence is a hotspot for mutations in E. coli. Be sure to include the following in your answer:
  1. The specific DNA damage that occurs.
  2. Exactly how this damage results in mutation.
  3. Whether a transition or transversion mutation is formed.
  4. The resulting DNA sequence in the next generation (daughter bacterium).
