    Study Notes

    Effects of UV Light on Cells

    • Cells exposed to UV light require specific conditions to obtain highest frequency of... (answer not provided in the text)
    • Placing cells in the dark immediately after UV exposure is one of the possible conditions
    • Exposure to visible light is another possible condition
    • Shaking cells vigorously or incubating at a temperature below optimum for growth are also possible conditions

    Characteristics of Plasmids

    • Not all plasmids carry genes for antimicrobial resistance
    • Not all plasmids encode mechanisms for transmission to other bacteria
    • Plasmids do not always occur in multiple copies in the cells
    • Plasmids typically code for non-essential functions
