What is microbial transformations?
"Transformation" refers to a change in the heritable characteristics in bacteria that have been incubated with DNA of other bacteria. Some of these incubated bacteria will acquire some of the characteristics of the bacteria from which the DNA was extracted. The DNA enters the incubated bacteria through holes in the cell membrane, and gets incorporated into the bacterial genome.
Which best describes transduction in bacteria?
Bacteria transfer DNA with a bacteriophage.
Does DNA synthesize in bacteria?
Does DNA synthesize in bacteria?
What was the importance of Griffith's work with strains of the bacterium Streptococcus penuemoniae?
Bacteria exposed to DNA can incorporate the DNA and change phenotype.
What does Bacteria and viruses change the genotype of an organism through?
Bacteria and viruses change the genotype of an organism through mutation. Mutations are heritable changes in DNA and RNA that changes the genes..
Why would you want to change an organisms DNA?
Most of the changes in DNA are done with bacteria. It is possible to change the DNA in bacteria so the bacteria will take common chemicals and produce expensive drugs. Thus, the bacteria can take some substances and produce insulin and diabetics can live. Most diabetics would rather stay alive than die due to a shortage of insulin. Changing DNA produces other drugs as well.
How the DNA arranged in bacteria-viruses and animals and why?
How the DNA arranged in bacteria-viruses and animals and why?
Will bacteria cells have DNA?
Yes. Bacteria are living organisms. All living organisms have DNA.
DNA extraction from bacteria?
DNA extraction from bacteria can be achieved in various ways. Yeast is the best resource to extract the DNA bacteria from using extreme rapid extraction method.
Is DNA of bacteria any different from the DNA of the human?
No.
In an experiment DNA from dead pathogenic bacteria was transferred into living bacteria that do not cause disease These altered bacteria were then injected into healthy mice These mice died of the?
The pathogenic DNA from the dead bacteria became active when combined with the DNA in the live bacteria. When injected into the mice, this reactivated DNA caused the disease and the mice died.
Can DNA fragments from human and bacteria be joined?
Yes, DNA SEGMENTS from humans and bacteria are joined by Enzymes
