What plasmids are and how they are used to get bacteria to synthesize a new protein that they normally do not synthesize?
Plasmids are circles of DNA. These have genes that can be transferred from one bacteria that has it to another. These genes can code for a protein that one cell normally doesn't code for. This done by a process called bacterial conjugation.
What causes protozoan plasmids?
Protozoa do not have plasmids in nature.
In many bacteria genes that confer resistance to antibiotics are carried on what dissimilation plasmids exons plasmids factors or transposons?
plasmids
Plasmids are unique to what?
Plasmids are small segments of genetic material which are passed from one bacteria to another, so plasmids are unique to bacteria, which may also be referred to as prokaryotes.
Small accessory chromosomes found in bacteria and useful in recombinant DNA procedures are called?
plasmids.

What is a promiscuous plasmids?
plasmids that have transfer systems that allow transfer of DNA to unrelated species are called promiscuous plasmids.
What are cryptic plasmids and their properties?
Cryptic plasmids are plasmids that have no known function. They occur in a number of bacterial species. A plasmid is a circular loop of DNA, found, for the most part in prokaryotic cells (bacteria). It is much smaller than the single chromosome. Most bacterial plasmids fall into two main groups. There are relatively few copies per cell of large plasmids, with about 100,000 base pairs. These have enough genes to encode approximately 100 polypeptide chains. There are rather more copies of smaller plasmids that have around 10,000 or fewer base pairs (enough to code for up to about 10 genes). At least some cryptic plasmids have been found to contain replication genes.
In many bacteria genes that confer resistance to antibiotics are carried on what dissimilation plasmids exons plasmids factors or transposons?
plasmids
What are the 2 types of DNA plasmids found in microorganisms?
Plasmids are autonomous DNA molecules of varying size which are localized within the cytoplasm of bacteria. There are two kinds:virulence plasmids = determines the virulence factors of the bacteriaresistance plasmids (R-plasmids) = determines the bacteria's resistance to anti-infective agents
Is prokaryote used in plasmids?
No, it's vise versa. Plasmids are used in and by the prokaryotes.
What types of plasmids allows a bacterial cell to kill its competitors?
Bacteriocin Plasmids
Plasmids are unique to what?
Plasmids are small segments of genetic material which are passed from one bacteria to another, so plasmids are unique to bacteria, which may also be referred to as prokaryotes.
What is inside the bacterium below is a small circular piece of DNA called?
Chromosomes unlike our cell they roam freely in the cytoplasm
Do mitochondria have plasmids?
No. Plasmids are used for cell replication, and cannot be a fraction of something that a fraction of a cell.
Are plasmids found in plant or animal cells or both?
plasmids are found in plant cells only
