What is the relationship between plasmids and recombinant DNA?
Vectors and plasmids are related because a plasmid is a type of vector. A vector is a DNA molecule used to transfer foreign genetic material into another cell. A plasmid consists of an origin of replication and also the transgene insert.
Do plasmids have protein?
Plasmids are sections of DNA that are independent of the main chromosome found in prokaryotes. It does not have any proteins other than the ones associated with replication of the plasmid.
Is origin of replication or replication fork same?
i think those are same words
Describe the essential features of the use of bacterial plasmid?
Bacterial plasmids were capable of self-replication, hence they are used in the recombinant DNA technology.
What is a helper plasmid?
A helper plasmid is one that allows for the beginning of replication and transfer of other plasmids from a donor to a recipient. Without a helper plasmid, transposons will not be expressed in the recipient.
Do mitochondria have plasmids?
No. Plasmids are used for cell replication, and cannot be a fraction of something that a fraction of a cell.
What role do plasmids play in the replication process?
A big one.

What are Extra-chromosomal DNA particles capable of independent replication are called?
Plasmids

What happens at the DNA replication fork?
The DNA replication fork is where the replication origin forms the Y shape. The replication fork moves down the DNA strand to the strand's end, resulting in every replication fork having a twin.
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.
What is a helper plasmid?
A helper plasmid is one that allows for the beginning of replication and transfer of other plasmids from a donor to a recipient. Without a helper plasmid, transposons will not be expressed in the recipient.
How does replacation begin in DNA?
DNA melting and unwinding at the origin of replication.
What happenes first at each origin of replication?
Enzymes unwind DNA!
