What is transformation?
When fragments of DNA are connected from different sources, this creates:
Bacterial DNA that is often circular or in the shape of a ring is called a:
Crops are often genetically engineered for improved traits. Such crops and organisms are called:
DNA can be cut with
Cells are made competent (ready to be transformed) by
Heat shock
What is the purpose of the recovery period after heat shock during bacterial transformation?
A cell becomes competent when this happens:
How might a plasmid contribute to a selective advantage for a bacterial cell?
Process in which plasmid DNA is taken up by a bacterial or yeast cell.
Bacteria are model organisms because
