Why do you keep competent cells in ice?
to avoid denaturation of the genetic material in this case DNA
What is meant by competent cells?
competent cells are the naked DNA(pure DNA without any attached molecules) into a tissue or organ, so the naked DNA is taken up and expressed by some cels and such cells are said to be competent the most common naked DNA vectors are plasmids. i hope that will help you. be a good students, no more cheating lolz
What are some types of cells that have been transformed?
transformed cell lines divide more rapidly and do not require attachment to surface for growth, the loose contact inhibition, when reintroduced to animals may form tumours
Why is it necessary to autoclave transformed cells immediately after experiment?
Because you don't want to release ampicillin resistant E. coli into the environment because it is dangerous.
Where does the cell theory state that all cells come from?
other cells
Plasma cells develop from transformed t or b cells?
The plasma cells develop from transformed b cells.
What enzyme is produced by cells transformed with plasmid lux that is not produced by cells transformed with pUC18?
Luciferase
Plasma cells develop from transformed b cells or t cells?
ativated B cells forms effector cells which are called plasma cells
What is the definition of competent cells?
cells which readily accept a foreign DNA through a process called transformation
Can transformed cells pass their newly- acquired traits?
yes
The host organism into which a cloning vector is placed is called?
Competent cells if i not mistaken
How might fat cells help people with spinal cord injuries?
fat cells have reapable stem cells that can be transformed into neurons.
What is a reservoir for lymphocytes that can be transformed into specific disease fighting cells?
my pp
What is transformed from rough strain bacteria to smooth strain cells?
DNA

Are transformed cells capable of passing their newly-acquired traits onto succeeding generations?
Yes, transformed cells have the ability to pass their newly-acquired traits onto succeeding generations. This is because the transformation process often involves integrating foreign genetic material into the cell's genome, which can be inherited by daughter cells during cell division. As a result, the traits conferred by the transformed cells can be maintained and passed on to subsequent generations.
