A single piece of coiled DNA is known as?

A coiled piece of DNA is called a plasmid, found in prokaryotic cells.


Why are plasmids pieces of DNA?

i think each plasmid piece codes for a specific function. for example antibiotic resistance shown by antibiotic sensitive cell after a piece of plasmid that is antibiotic resistant gene recombine with cell 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 is an extrachromosomal piece of bacterial DNA that contains genes not essential for cell growth?

A Plasmid


Identify the component of the bacterial cell that is a ring-shaped piece of DNA that is NOT part of the main chromosome and often plays a role in antibiotic resistance?

That ring-shaped piece of DNA is called a plasmid. The plasmid is DNA nonetheless, and has the same components that a DNA normally has.


When circular plasmid DNA is cut open at a single site by a restriction enzyme the resulting piece is?

You should end up with a linear piece of DNA the length of the entire plasmid. I don't know if there is a specific name for it. CALLED A : a linear strand


What is a small circular piece of DNA?

They are called chromosomes. More specifically, they are plasmids, and are only found in bacterias.


How do scientists generate large amounts of a particular piece of DNA they wish to work with?

They would insert the DNA into a BACTERIAL PLASMID LSU mastering Biology!


What describes a plasmid?

What is the function of restriction enzymes in the process of DNA recombination?

First, a specific enzyme is needed to cut the DNA from the donor genes at a specific site. This enzyme is called a restriction enzyme.The enzyme is used to cut out a piece of DNA that contains one or more desired genes from the donor's DNA. Next, a vector is needed to receive the donor DNA. Most frequently, a naturally occurring circular piece of bacterial DNA, called a plasmid, is used for this purpose. Finally, an enzyme is used to "stitch" the donor DNA into the plasmid vector. This enzyme is called ligase, and it creates permanent bonds between the donor DNA and the plasmid DNA. The result is that the donor DNA is incorporated into the bacterial plasmid, forming the recombinant DNA (rDNA)


How does agrobacterium work?

Using agrobacterium is the most common way of genetically modifying plants. Inside the bacterium there is a circular piece of DNA called a plasmid, which also has a chromosome. This TI plasmid is tumor inducing but it transfers the plasmid DNA by infecting the plants DNA (it cuts the chromosome of the plant and inserts the plasmid). The bacterium live inside the tumor of the plant. Scientists tooks the T dna, removed the tumor causing genes, and left the DNA splicing genes. They then use the bacterium to transfer the DNA they want.


What is foreign substance?

A foreign substance is a substance that doesn't belong somewhere. A piece of glass or splinter is a foreign substance that people get in their body.
