Best Answer

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 site?

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


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


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

More gene fragments would be produced.


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 will happen to Agrobacterium when it losses it Ti plasmid?

Ti plasmid functions to induce turmor or a desease known as "crown gall" to the most dicot (rarely monocot) plants. Transfer DNA or T-DNA will be released during the infection process into the plant cell and integrate with the DNA host. Hence, the plant host is already infected. That's the important function of the Ti plasmid, if there are no such plasmid exist, then the agrobacterium lost its pathogenic function.

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.
