What else can I help you with?
How will you identify cells carrying the recombinant plasmid?
The transformants are selected for on agar containing an appropriate antibiotic. For example if your recombinant plasmid contains a kanamycin cassette, then only the cells containing the plasmid will grow on an agar plate containing kanamycin. PCR can then be performed on the colonies to ensure they contain your gene of interest on the plasmid.
Which is the plasmid that increases resistance to antibiotics?
R-plasmid
What plasmid that can degrade toluic acid?
TOL plasmid
How can i know if my bacteria contain plasmid or not?
You can determine if your bacteria contain a plasmid by performing a plasmid extraction followed by gel electrophoresis to visualize the presence of plasmid DNA. Other methods include PCR amplification of plasmid-specific sequences or using molecular biology techniques like restriction enzyme digestion to confirm the presence of a plasmid.
When inserting a new gene into plasmid why is it important that the same restriction enzyme is used on both the DNA selected and the plasmid?
Using the same restriction enzyme ensures that the DNA insert and plasmid have complementary ends and can be ligated together correctly. This helps to ensure that the gene is inserted in the correct orientation and frame, allowing for proper gene expression. Additionally, it helps to prevent self-ligation of the plasmid without the gene of interest.
What is a self transmissible plasmid?
A plasmid which encodes genes for its own transfer.
A plasmid is a type of?
Plasmid is extrachromosomal DNA capable of self replication.
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 many plasmid slots can you have in BioShock 2?
You can have a maximum of 8 plasmid slots.
What is the term for a plasmid that contains a foreign gene?
Recombiant DNA
Is the plasmid found in prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells?
The plasmid is found in prokaryotic cells.
What occurs first in the production of a recombinant plasmid?
In the production of a recombinant plasmid, the DNA of interest (insert) and the plasmid vector are both cut with restriction enzymes to create compatible ends. These cut fragments are then ligated together using DNA ligase to produce the recombinant plasmid.
