DNA in bacteria is prepared for use in gene transfer by replicating it. When it is transferred, it is already prepared so that it can begin producing new cells based on the provided genetic material.

Horizontal gene transfer in humans?

gene transfer in eukaryotes Gene transfer in eukaryotes may come in the form of mitosis or meiosis. However, horizontal gene transfer, to my knowledge, does not occur in euks. Horizontal gene transfer is when a cell's DNA is transferred to an individual without reproduction. Bacteria have the ability to accept plasmids from other bacteria, and then incorporate the DNA in to their own genome.


Why does a gene fit into the opening in the plasmid?

When genes transfer the tra gene nicks the DNA at its origin of transfer creating a pilus so the chromosome (which contains the gene) can transfer to the other DNA.

What is recombinant sequence?

A recombinant sequence of DNA is a sequence of DNA that comes from more than one source. Examples of recombinant DNA are plasmids that are put into bacteria. The plasmid comes from the bacteria (or a bacteria at least) but a target gene has been added (say the lac operon gene that allows bacteria to thrive on lactose), this plasmid is now a recombinant DNA sequence.
