What else can I help you with?
What is the structure of the plasmids?
A plasmid is a double stranded circular DNA
Are plasmid circular pieces of RNA?
No, they are made of DNA, not RNA.
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 is a small circular DNA molecule found naturally in some bacteria?
plasmid
What are small circular segments of DNA often exchanged between bacteria?
Plasmid
How do you draw a plasmid map?
To draw a plasmid map, you first need the plasmid sequence. Then, you can use specialized software like SnapGene or Benchling to input the sequence and generate a visual representation of the plasmid with features like genes, promoters, restriction sites, and other elements. Plasmid maps are typically presented as circular diagrams.
What is the visual indication of a supercoiled plasmid on a gel electrophoresis image?
On a gel electrophoresis image, a supercoiled plasmid appears as a tight, condensed band that migrates faster than other forms of the plasmid, such as linear or relaxed circular forms.
Do all cells have plasmid?
No. Plasmids are special circular DNA structure that is only found in prokaryotes.
Do eukaryote cells have plasmid?
No. Plasmids are special circular DNA structure that is only found in prokaryotes.
Is a circular double stranded DNA molecule that is capable of independent replication it usually occurs in bacteria?
Yes, this description matches that of a bacterial plasmid. Plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules that replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome. They often carry accessory genes that can provide advantages to the bacteria under certain conditions.
What is inside the bacterium below is a small circular piece of DNA called?
Inside the bacterium is a small circular piece of DNA called a plasmid. Plasmids can carry extra genes that provide advantages to the bacterium, such as antibiotic resistance. They can replicate independently from the bacterium's chromosomal DNA.
What bacteria is circular double-stranded DNA molecule that is capable of independent replication?
The bacteria that meets this description is a plasmid. Plasmids are small, circular pieces of DNA that replicate independently from the bacterial chromosome. They can carry additional genetic information and can be transferred between bacterial cells.
