Is the f plus cell the recipient cell?
transfer of genes via a phage
How does plasmid allow for antibiotic resistance?
A plasmid (conjugative plasmid) that has a resistance gene on it, can transfer itself to another bacterial cell (called conjugation) or assist in the transfer of a non-conjugative plasmid that has a resistance gene to another cell (called mobilization). Whichever way it happens, once the plasmid is transfered to the new cell, this cell too may show signs of resistance to the particular antibiotic. This is one of the ways of the speard of resistance amongst bacteria
Which genes can be transferred by all three methods of intermicrobial transfer?
The genes that can be transferred by all three methods of intermicrobial transfer are drug resistance. Horizontal transfer is when the individual cell pass along the resistance genes.
Explain how DNA technology transfer bacterial genes from cell to cell?
I think you must rethink about your question, but still I am giving the answer as I can understand that you are asking about recombinant DNA technology where bacterial DNA is used as it is a cloning vector (plasmid). In recombinant DNA technology the particular sequence of DNA that we want to replicate or want to produce in huge number, is attached either with plasmid of bacteria or a DNA of bacteriophage and thus produce the recombinant or hybrid DNA which is copied each time when the bacteria or bacteriophage multiply. In this way the hybrid DNA will be transferred from parent cell to daughter cells.
What is the transfer of genes by uptake of DNA from dead organisms?
The transfer of genes by uptake of DNA from dead organisms is known as transformation. This process involves the uptake of external genetic material by a cell, leading to genetic recombination and potentially the acquisition of new traits or characteristics. Transformation is a mechanism of horizontal gene transfer commonly observed in bacteria.
How does genetic engineering use bacteria to produce human genes?
The best example of this is Insulin produced in E.coli and this is carried out by recombinant DNA technology wherein the desired gene of interest in inserted into a vector system and then into host cell.
What is a plasmid in a cell?
A circular, double-stranded unit of DNA that replicates within a cell independently of the chromosomal DNA. Plasmids are most often found in bacteria and are used in recombinant DNA plasmidto transfer genes between cells.
How are dieseases inherited?
This means that you inherit certain genes from your parents; these genes can predispose you to a certain diseases. For example, you may be more vulnerable to certain bacteria, or the genes may directly related to some defect, such as sickle-cell anemia.This means that you inherit certain genes from your parents; these genes can predispose you to a certain diseases.

What is the word for the genetic transfer of material between two bacteria that have direct cell to cell contact?
conjugation
How was a bacteria first used to copy gene?
Bacteria were first used to copy genes through a process called recombinant DNA technology. This involved inserting a gene of interest into a plasmid, which was then introduced into the bacterial cell. The bacteria could then replicate and transcribe the gene, allowing for the production of a specific protein encoded by the gene.
What do you call an organism that carries diseases or plasmids or viruses or bacteria used to transport genes into a host cell?
It is called a vector.
Where is plasmid located within your body?
A circular, double-stranded unit of DNA that replicates within a cell independently of the chromosomal DNA. Plasmids are most often found in bacteria and are used in recombinant DNA research to transfer genes between cells.
