Microbiology Genetics

 Genetic information in bacteria and many viruses is encoded in DNA, but some viruses use RNA. Replication of the genome is essential for inheritance of genetically determined traits. Gene expression usually involves transcription of DNA into messenger RNA and translation of mRNA into protein.The chromosome replicates semiconservatively; each DNA strand serves as template for synthesis of its complementary strand.Gene cloning is the incorporation of a foreign gene into a vector to produce a recombinant DNA molecule that replicates and expresses the foreign gene in a recipient cell.At rapid growth rates there may be four chromosomes replicating to form eight at the time of cell division, which is coupled with completion of a round of chromosomal replication. Thus, the chromosome in rapidly growing bacteria is replicating at more than one point.
