Study Notes
Flow of Genetic Material
- In microbial cells, the flow of genetic material usually takes place from RNA to DNA to proteins
DNA Replication
- Replication is the process by which a new copy of a DNA molecule is precisely synthesized
Tetanospasmin Characteristics
- Tetanospasmin is a neurotoxin
- Tetanospasmin can be toxoid
- Tetanospasmin is a heat-labile protein
Toxicity of Exotoxins
- Botulinum toxin is the most toxic exotoxin
- Other exotoxins, in comparison, are less toxic, including Tetanus toxin, Diphtheria toxin, and Cholera toxin
Explore the processes of DNA replication, flow of genetic material, and characteristics of toxins in microbial cells.
