What is the function of the Ti plasmid?
what is the function of the plasmid
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 is the function of the Ti plasmid?
what is the function of the plasmid
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
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 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.
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.
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
Bacterial DNA is used frequently in genetic engineering because?
it is found in the cytoplasm as a simple circle.
Why T-DNA is not degraded by plant cell?
T-DNA, which is part of the Ti plasmid, is protected by vir proteins (encoded by vir genes also present on the Ti plasmid) after it is excised. Plant restriction enzymes cannot attack T-DNA bound my vir proteins since the enzyme cannot gain access to the interiors of the DNA.
What is agrobacterium mediated gene transfer?
transfer of gene with the help of Ti plasmid present in Agrobacterium which has T-dna region by which gene van transfer.
