∙ 15y agoA vector is a plasmid that inserts genes into a cell through genetic engineering. A vector is a term used to refer to an organism which itself does not cause disease but allows the transmission of disease causing microbes. The typical example is the fleas which transmitted the black death plague organism (Y.pestis).

Is charge scalar or vector?
vector
Is torque is a scalar or a vector quantity?
Since torque is a force, and as such has a direction, it is a vector.
What is a vector and name an animal that is vector?
a vector is an animal that carries diseases an animal that are vectors are rats
Is 70 meters east scalar?
No, it is vector. East is the direction for the 70 meters, thus a vector.
What carries recombinant dna into bacteria?
Endoplasmic reticulum.
Is vector calculus and differential equations needed for marine biology?
Marine biology is a vast discipline incorporating every aspect of biology but with a marine emphasis, this ranges from ecology (which is heavily statistical) to physiology. So in answer to your question, yes it is used, the need however depends on what path you take. Vector calculus has proved to be useful while studying marine biology.
How are biological vectors responsible for malaria and gastroenteritis?
A vector in biology may be an organism that transports the pathogen. Malaria is caused by a parasite which is spread through mosquito saliva. A vector for gastroenteritis is normally contaminated food or water.
Can a vector be represented in terms of unit vector?
Yes, a vector can be represented in terms of a unit vector which is in the same direction as the vector. it will be the unit vector in the direction of the vector times the magnitude of the vector.
What is null vector?
NULL VECTOR::::null vector is avector of zero magnitude and arbitrary direction the sum of a vector and its negative vector is a null vector...
What is the angle between vector a and vector b when mode of vector a plus vector b is equal to mode of vector a minus vector b?
90 degrees
What is the sum of two vectors A.addition vector B.distance vector C.resultant vector D.displacement vector?
That is usually called the resultant vector.
Is vector A parallel vector B given that vector A is equal to the zero vector and vector B is equal to the zero vector?
The zero vector is both parallel and perpendicular to any other vector. V.0 = 0 means zero vector is perpendicular to V and Vx0 = 0 means zero vector is parallel to V.
120 meters northeast vector or scalar?
It is a displacement vector.
Vector that shows the combined effect of two or more vector?
Resultant vector or effective vector
What is relationship between vector space and vector subspace?
Vector spaces can be formed of vector subspaces.
What is different between negative vector and null vector?
A null vector has no magnitude, a negative vector does have a magnitude but it is in the direction opposite to that of the reference vector.
What is a scalar times a vector?
A scalar times a vector is a vector.
