When plasmids, are used to transfer foreign DNA to other cells the plasmid is called a
Transfer of DNA into cells is called what?
Transcription
What is the The key process for information storage and transfer to offspring cells?
DNA replication
What is The key process for information storage and transfer to offspring cells?
DNA replication
Transfer devices called cloning are used to overcome problems in getting DNA into cells?
Vectors
What is transferable genes?
Gene transfer is when unrelated genetic information is inserted into cells. This is in the form of DNA.
Which best describes transduction in bacteria?
Bacteria transfer DNA with a bacteriophage.
How is bacteria DNA prepared for use in gene transfer?
DNA in bacteria is prepared for use in gene transfer by replicating it. When it is transferred, it is already prepared so that it can begin producing new cells based on the provided genetic material.
List the four distinct stages involved in a gene transfer?
1.Cleaving DNA The source chromosomes is cut into fragments of DNA.2.Producing recombinant DNA The DNA fragments containing the desired gene are inserted into viral or bacterial DNA. The recombinant DNA is then allowed to infect the target cells.3.Cloning cells infected cells are allowed to reproduce.Growing a large number of identical cells from one cell is known as cloning.4.Screening target cells Targets cells that have received the particular gene of interest are isolated.
What is the function of a chromosone?
The function of a chromosomes is to make living organisms as they are. They transfer DNA traits and genes from the parent to the daughter cells.
What is a tubular appendage found on some bacteria that allows transfer of DNA between bacterial cells?
it is called a sex pilus
What cells carry DNA?
The main cells in your body that contain DNA and RNA are your skin cells. This is because skin cells hold more then the DNA to skin. The DNA in skin also tells a person's eye color, height, hair color and bone structure. RNA in any cell is used to transfer any messages from one cell to another.
