Their small size, short generation time, and simple structures have made bacteria and viruses valuable model systems for genetic studies.
Many basic concepts of genetics were first deduced from studies of bacteria and viruses.

Viruses can only reproduce by infecting living host cells. Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria. Several important genetic concepts have been discovered through studies of bacteriophages.

Genes may be mapped based on recombination frequencies.
Host bacteria are infected with two types of phage; progeny phage are screened for recombination.
Map distances are calculated as the average number of crossovers between genetic markers.

Viruses are obligate parasites that can reproduce only by infecting living host cells.
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria.
Bacteriophage T4 is a lytic phage that infects E. coli, reproduces, and lyses the host cell.
![Page 22: Chapter 8 The Genetics of Bacteria and Their Viruses](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/5681438d550346895db00b23/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Bacteriophage lambda () can enter a lytic pathway, like T4, or it can enter a lysogenic pathway, during which its chromosome is inserted into the chromosome of the bacterium.
In its integrated state, the chromosome is called a prophage, and it’s lytic genes are kept turned off.
![Page 23: Chapter 8 The Genetics of Bacteria and Their Viruses](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/5681438d550346895db00b23/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Bacteria contain genes that mutate to produce altered phenotypes. Gene transfer in bacteria is unidirectional—from donor cells to recipient cells.

Bacteria usually contain one main chromosome.
Wild-type bacteria are prototrophs; they can synthesize everything they need to grow and reproduce given an energy source and some inorganic molecules.
Auxotrophic mutant bacteria require additional metabolites for growth.

Gene transfer in bacteria is unidirectional; genes from a donor cell are transferred to a recipient cell, with no transfer from recipient to donor.

Bacteria exchange genetic material through three different parasexual processes.

In transduction, a bacteriophage transfers DNA from a donor cell to a recipient cell.
In generalized transduction, a random fragment of bacterial DNA is packaged in the page head in place of the phage DNA.
In specialized transduction, recombination between the phage chromosome and the host chromosome produces a phage chromosome containing a piece of bacterial DNA.

A plasmid is a genetic element that can replicate independently of the main chromosome in an extrachromosomal state.
Most plasmids are not required for the survival of the host cell.

An episome is a genetic element that is not essential to the host and that can either replicate autonomously or be integrated into the bacterial chromosome.
Integration depends on the presence of IS elements.

Three parasexual processes—transformation, conjugation, and transduction—occur in bacteria. These processes can be distinguished by two criteria: whether the gene transfer is inhibited by deoxyribonuclease and whether it requires cell contact.
![Page 43: Chapter 8 The Genetics of Bacteria and Their Viruses](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/5681438d550346895db00b23/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Transformation involves the uptake of free DNA by bacteria.
Conjugation occurs when a donor cell makes contact with a recipient cell and then transfers DNA to the recipient cell.
Transduction occurs when a virus carries bacterial genes from a donor cell to a recipient cell.
![Page 44: Chapter 8 The Genetics of Bacteria and Their Viruses](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/5681438d550346895db00b23/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Plasmids are self-replicating extrachromosomal genetic elements.
Episomes can replicate autonomously or as integrated components of bacterial chromosomes.
