What is a promiscuous plasmids?
plasmids that have transfer systems that allow transfer of DNA to unrelated species are called promiscuous plasmids.
What is the function of plasmid DNA?
Plasmids have small pockets of DNA in them.
What are the 2 types of DNA plasmids found in microorganisms?
Plasmids are autonomous DNA molecules of varying size which are localized within the cytoplasm of bacteria. There are two kinds:virulence plasmids = determines the virulence factors of the bacteriaresistance plasmids (R-plasmids) = determines the bacteria's resistance to anti-infective agents
Is plasmid made of DNA?
Plasmids are considered transferable genetic elements, or "replicons", capable of autonomous replication within a suitable host. plasmids are "naked" DNA and do not encode genes necessary to encase the genetic material for transfer to a new host.A plasmid is a DNA molecule that is separate from, and can replicate independently of, the chromosomal DNA.
Small accessory chromosomes found in bacteria and useful in recombinant DNA procedures are called?
plasmids.
When plasmids are used to transfer foreign DNA to other cells the plasmid is called?
When plasmids, are used to transfer foreign DNA to other cells the plasmid is called a
Circular DNA molecules that can replicate independently are called?
Circular DNA that can replicate on their own are called plasmids. In the field of biotechnology, plasmids are of great importance. Mitochondria also has some of its own DNA.
What is inside the bacterium below is a small circular piece of DNA called?
Chromosomes unlike our cell they roam freely in the cytoplasm
What does plasmids do?
plasmids are vectors that are used to replicate recombinant DNA in a host organism or cell. they are normally used in cloning experiments.
What happens after genetically modified plasmids inserted into bacteria?
Plasmids are cloned and start producing protein .
Extrachromosomal DNA in prokaryotic cells can be found in the form of?
Plasmids.
In bacteria genes occur as what?
plasmids...circular strands of DNA
