A bacterial cell that takes up naked DNA from its environment?
transformation
What is the process by which bacteria take piece's of DNA from their environment?
Conjugation Transformation Transduction (A bacterial cell takes up DNA from its environment One bacterium transfers DNA to another bacterium to which it's physically connected A virus moves DNA from one bacterial cell to another)
When human DNA is spliced into bacterial DNA what is the new DNA called?
The new human-bacterial DNA is known as recombinant DNA.
Where is bacterial cells DNA found in a prokaryotic cell?
Bacterial DNA are in plasmids.Plasmids are in cytoplasm.
In what structure does Bacterial DNA resemble human DNA?
That they have both DNA Bacterial DNA is a (closed) circle, those of human is lineair (straight) if you stretch it. Bacterial DNA does not have Proteines, Human DNA has Proteines. Bacteria have also RNA The DNA of bacteria is easy to reach , those of human not.
What is the process of adding foreign DNA to a bacterial cell called?
The process of adding foreign DNA to a bacterial cell is called Bacterial Transformation. It is a technique used very frequently in molecular Biology labs.Ê
What is the process in which bacterial cell takes in which DNA released by a different bacterial cell?
Transformation.
A bacterial cell that takes up naked DNA from its environment?
transformation
What is the process in which a bacterial cell takes in DNA released by a different bacterial cell called?
== == transformation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Transformation is the process in which a bacteria takes in DNA from the environment. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_(genetics) By the way, transduction is the process of DNA transfer by the action of a virus (bacteriophages). The other method of DNA exchange between bacteria is called conjugation, which is the transfer of DNA between bacteria by physical contact.

What is a transformation in bacteria?
In molecular biology, transformation is the genetic alteration of a cell resulting from the direct uptake and incorporation of exogenous genetic material (exogenous DNA) from its surroundings through the cell membrane(s). Transformation occurs naturally in some species of bacteria, but it can also be effected by artificial means in other cells
Compare the transformation of a bacterium cell with the transformation of a plant cell?
In bacteria, if the plasmid containing the foreign DNA manages to get inside a bacterial cell, this sequence ensures that it will be replicated. In Plant Cells, if transformation is successful the recombinant DNA is integrated into one of the chromosomes of the cell.
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.
What causes the most genetic diversity in a bacterial colony?
The most common source of genetic diversity in a bacterial colony is a mutation. External DNA is assimilated by a cell is transformation.
Why are bacteria treated with calcium ions and subjected to temperature shock?
This is a method of bacterial transformation; to get bacteria to take up plasmid DNA.
When human DNA is spliced into bacterial DNA what is the new DNA called?
The new human-bacterial DNA is known as recombinant DNA.
Where is bacterial cells DNA found in a prokaryotic cell?
Bacterial DNA are in plasmids.Plasmids are in cytoplasm.
