It replicates independently of the host chromosome and carries information required for its own replication. It also carries information that adds extra characteristics to the host cell, those characteristics are usually not vital for the cell.

So if there was no plasmid...there would be no DNA replication.

What could happen if the plasmid were cut at more than one site?

If the plasmid were cut at more than one site, it could result in the fragmenting of the plasmid into smaller pieces. This could lead to difficulties in maintaining the integrity of the plasmid during cloning processes, affecting the stability and functionality of the plasmid. Additionally, it may disrupt the insertion of foreign DNA or hinder the replication of the plasmid in host cells.


What is a multicopy plasmid?

Every plasmid has a copy number that reflects the average number of copies of a certain plasmid inside a host cell(usually a bacterial cell). So a multicopy plasmid, exist in multiple copies in any given bacteria. It is believed that the higher the copy number is, the more efficient the plasmid is at replicating itself.


Can plasmid DNA be used for 16srRNA amplification?

The 16s rRNA genes (rDNA) exist on genomic DNA. Therefore, plasmid has nothing to do with its amplification. However, if the 16s rRNA gene is cloned into the plasmid, it can be amplified.


What would happen if a plasmid was cut at more than one site?

If a plasmid is cut at more than one site by restriction enzymes, it would result in multiple DNA fragments. These fragments can be ligated back together in different combinations, resulting in plasmids with different sizes or configurations. This can lead to the creation of recombinant plasmids with altered properties compared to the original plasmid.


Which enzyme would cut the plasmid without disrupting the function of?

Perhaps you mean a restriction enzyme, but not disrupting the function of whatever is not too clear. I think if you cut a plasmid with any restriction enzyme I am familiar with the function of that plasmid would be disrupted.

What could happen if the plasmid were cut at more than site?

It would become fragments of DNA and no more the plasmid will be in circular form.


What would happen if you cut both the jellyfish glo gene and puc18 plasmid with the ecor1 restriction enzyme?

If there is a EcoR1 site in either the middle of the Glo gene, or in the middle of the selectable marker site in the plasmid, it would likely disable either Glo, or the plasmid.
