19. Cell genomes can be manipulated to alter cell function.

􏰀 List the common features of vectors used for cloning.
􏰀 List one example in medicine or in agriculture when bacteria acquired new genes that resulted in an altered cell function.

􏰀 Describe the mechanisms by which orthologs and paralogs arise.
􏰀 Discuss how horizontal gene exchange contributes to the evolution of a genome and a species.
􏰀 Explain how a transposon can be used to create a mutant strain.
􏰀 Design a vector for a given situation.
􏰀 Discuss two societal benefits achieved through the genetic manipulation of microbes.
