How is bacteria DNA prepared for use in gene transfer?
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.
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.
A small ring of DNA that can be taken up by bacteria?
DNA is spliced into bacterial DNA in rings called plasmids.
What is agrobacterium mediated gene transfer?
transfer of gene with the help of Ti plasmid present in Agrobacterium which has T-dna region by which gene van transfer.
What is the process used to isolate a gene from the DNA of one organism and transfer the gene into the DNA of another called?

How can specialized transduction contribute to the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes in a bacterial population?
The prophage takes an antibiotic resistance gene with it and is packaged with the newly synthesized viral DNA.
If a gene is inserted into the DNA of a bacterial cell every cell produced by that cell will have?
a copy of the inserted gene
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.

Genetic Engineering
What are needed to transfer a gene through a DNA molecule?
Genetics engineering is needed to transfer genes through DNA molecules.
What clues did bacterial transformation yield about the gene?
That gene is a functional unit of DNA. And when it is transformed to another organism it carry out that function there.
Is heat shock a method of gene transfer in bacterial cells?
Bacterial cell wall is made of peptidoglycan(a polymer consisting of both sugars and amino acids). So, when the bacterial cells along with the recombinant DNA is subjected to high temperature and suddenly brought down to low temperature(almost immediately - after 2mins), the protein structure gets denatured. By this, there form pores large enough for the recombinant DNA to enter the cell and express the desired gene when required.
A general scheme for genetic engineering is?
obtain DNA with the desired gene, cut the DNA into pieces, copy the pieces of DNA, identify copies of the desired gene, and transfer the desired gene to the recipient organism. for Plato the answer is A. not B. C. or D.
