Do all microbes have plasmids?
No,all the microbes do not have a plasmid. Plasmids are present only in a bacterial cell.Plasmids are the extra chromosomal DNA which can replicate by itself.
Describe the essential features of the use of bacterial plasmid?
Bacterial plasmids were capable of self-replication, hence they are used in the recombinant DNA technology.
Do cells take up more plasmids in some conditions and less in others?
Bacterial cells do not normally take up plasmids. However, scientists can use tricks to make them do so.
What cuts bacterial plasmids?
Enzymes called restriction endonucleases can cut plasmids. However, in order for a cut to be produced, the plasmid should contain a specific sequence of nucleotides called the restriction site
How can bacterial populations develop drug resistance and share that resistance with other bacteria?
resistance mechanisms often carried by plasmids can be easily transmitted in bacterial populations by conjugation
What types of plasmids allows a bacterial cell to kill its competitors?
Bacteriocin Plasmids
Are prophages present when the virus is in lysogeny?
prophages
In a bacterial cell, where would you find the DNA plasmids?
cytoplasm
Can a bacteraial plasmid replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome?
Bacteria carry plasmids which is a double stranded DNA . It is how their extra chromosomal DNA is stored, they also have chromosomal DNA.Plasmids are extra-chromosomal DNA in Bacterial cells that replicate independently in cell. Plasmids are ubiquitous- means significant number of bacteria have plasmid and can have more that one plasmids. But Plasmids do not occur in all bacterial isolates.
Do all microbes have plasmids?
No,all the microbes do not have a plasmid. Plasmids are present only in a bacterial cell.Plasmids are the extra chromosomal DNA which can replicate by itself.
Where are bacterial chromosomes located?
The DNA addition to the bacterial cromosome is located in the cytoplasm as circular DNA molecules or plasmids.
Describe the essential features of the use of bacterial plasmid?
Bacterial plasmids were capable of self-replication, hence they are used in the recombinant DNA technology.
Which enzyme is Known as Genetical or Genetic Knife?
restriction endonuclase enzyme (made in bacterial plasmids)
In the process of human gene cloning using recombinant plasmids what is the bacterial plasmid?
functions as a vector
Can plasmids be transferred into other bacteria?
Plasmids are often transferred to other bacterial cells via the sex pilus. This mechanism is a major cause in the spread of antibiotic resistance genes.
Do cells take up more plasmids in some conditions and less in others?
Bacterial cells do not normally take up plasmids. However, scientists can use tricks to make them do so.
Do fungal cells have plasmids?
It does not contain chloroplast because there is no any green pigment exist, and they doesn't make food by photosyntesis.
