Who discover the Ti plasmid?
Ivo Zaenen
What is a self-transmissible plasmid?
A plasmid which encodes genes for its own transfer.
What is a synonym for plasmid?
A plasmid is essentially extra-chromosomal self-replicating DNA
What is a single loop of DNA found in bacteria?
bacterial plasmid/ plasmid ring
A bacterial cell that has taken up plasmid DNA is?
A bacterial cell that has taken up plasmid DNA is transformed.
What will happen to Agrobacterium when it losses it Ti plasmid?
Ti plasmid functions to induce turmor or a desease known as "crown gall" to the most dicot (rarely monocot) plants. Transfer DNA or T-DNA will be released during the infection process into the plant cell and integrate with the DNA host. Hence, the plant host is already infected. That's the important function of the Ti plasmid, if there are no such plasmid exist, then the agrobacterium lost its pathogenic function.
Who discover the Ti plasmid?
Ivo Zaenen
Analogy for plasmid?
F-plasmid (fertility plasmid) of any conjugative bateria or Ti-plasmid (tumor-inducing) of Agrobacterium tumaefaciens.
Which organism naturally possesses the Ti plasmid?
agrobacterium tumefaciens
When is a plasmid considered a recombinant plasmid?
When the original function of the gene in the plasmid is altered or another gene is inserted in the non- coding region of the plasmid is called the recombinant plasmid.
How does the ti plasmid make genetic engineering plants a possibility?
It is capable of introducing exogenous genes into plant genomes. T-DNA genes are removed from the Ti plasmid and are replaced with the gene of interest.
What hormone directly activated vir gene in agrobacterium Ti plasmid?
octopine
What is recombinant Ti plasmid used for?
it's used to insert genes into a plant.
Which enzyme would cut the plasmid without disrupting the function of?
Perhaps you mean a restriction enzyme, but not disrupting the function of whatever is not too clear. I think if you cut a plasmid with any restriction enzyme I am familiar with the function of that plasmid would be disrupted.
How do you get to the function on a TI calculator?
This depends on what function, and what TI calculator.
The Ti plasmid from which plant pathogen is used to transfer plant genes between species?
Agrobacterium tumefaciens
Genetic engineers found a suitable vector to transport a gene from one plant to another in?
the Ti plasmid
