Do plasmid act as a carrier of foreign DNA and is needed to clone a gene?

The host cell will have a repairing mechanism after the introduction of foreign DNA. In order to reduce the chances of the insert plasmid to be repaired and removed, amount of carrier DNA (foreign DNA) are added. By removing the carrier DNA, inserted plasmid will have great opportunity to integrate with the host cell after repairing.

Yes, plasmids can act as carriers of foreign DNA and are commonly used in gene cloning. Plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules that can replicate independently from the host cell's genome. They can be manipulated to include a foreign gene of interest, and when introduced into a host cell, the plasmid can replicate along with the host cell's DNA, allowing for the amplification and expression of the cloned gene.

What is a Self replicating DNA used to transmit a gene from one organism to another?
Self replicating DNA used to transmit a gene from one organism to another is a vector. A population of cells carrying a desired plasmid is called a clone.
What is an exact duplicate of an organism called?
It is either an identical twin or a clone.

water clone is the strongest
Can seeds grow from clone plant?
Any vegetative propagation,for example, a cutting,is a clone.

What do you call a population of cells carrying a desired plasmid?
A plasmid is a small molecule of DNA that replicate independently within the cell. A population of cells carrying a desired plasmid is called a clone.
What is the methodology for producing recombinant DNA to be used in gene cloning?
1. A vector such as plasmid is needed along with a host cell. Restriction enzymes and DNA ligase are enzymes that are used to introduce foreign DNA into a vector.
Why is genetic engineering needed?
to clone things.
Significance of vector in DNA recombinant technology?
Vector are plasmid DNA, act as a molecular vehicles to carry genes or DNA of interest. In rDNA technology vectors used to clone the gene by ligation. This chimeric DNA or plasmid can be propagated in E.coli as the vector carries its own origin of replication. Expression plasmid vectors can be used to produce proteins from the gene of interest.
What is the role of antibiotic resistance gene in recombinant DNA technology?
Uñderstand by example: Bacteria that have pSC 101 plasmid, this plasmid have antibiotic resistant gene for tetracycline.when gene of interest in attached to plasmid to produce clone to get many genes of interest, it is placed in a medium contaning tetracycline for culturing bacteria(bactria made colonies which would separate out and remain safe because of they have resistance against tetracycline while other phothogen donot häve)
Is it right to clone someone and then take an organ when needed and kill the clone after?
Only you can answer your question. The answer is going to be different for everyone, and your opinion will be based on your own personal beliefs.

How many mice are needed to clone a mouse?
One, that's kind of the point of a clone. An exact DNA replica. If you had more than one donor it wouldn'tatch any one mouse.
Why is cloning an example of cloning?
Gene Cloning is used to clone a gene of interest in a vector called plasmid. The chimeric DNA or rDNA formed by cloning is stable and can be used to propagate and sequence the DNA. producing vector containing inulin gene is an example.
What is a Self replicating DNA used to transmit a gene from one organism to another?
Self replicating DNA used to transmit a gene from one organism to another is a vector. A population of cells carrying a desired plasmid is called a clone.
