Because it works so much better than keeping them in their safe deposit boxes.

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 one way to determine whether a bacterial culture has received a recombinant plasmid?

The plasmid have a "reporter gene" inside it, generally resistance to specific antibiotic. the plasmid is transformed into bacteria that don't have resistance to that specific antibiotic drug, and than the cultured on a petri-dish that contain the antibiotic drug. Only bacteria that had receive the plasmid will have resistance and grow, all the other will die.


Can plasmid DNA be used for 16srRNA amplification?

The 16s rRNA genes (rDNA) exist on genomic DNA. Therefore, plasmid has nothing to do with its amplification. However, if the 16s rRNA gene is cloned into the plasmid, it can be amplified.


The takes up the plasmid. It now contains the human gene?

I think I know the answer... it's 5


What describes a plasmid?

A piece of DNA transferred by a bacteriumIt is a piece of non-reproductive DNA, typically within a bacterium, that can be transferred to other organisms of the same or different species.


Does prokaryotes have genes?

Of course they have genes. They need genes for survival and reproduction.


What gene is always expressed?

Dominant genes will always be expressed however recessive genes would need to be inherited from both parents


Why do organisms turn on and off genes?

Each cell in out body contains all the genetic information of that organism. However, not all the information is needed. For example, a muscle cell only needs information about being a muscle cell so it would turn off information/ genes that it does not need. Also, some genes can be turned on and off when needed. For example, some bacteria can use lactose but lactose is not always present in the environment. Instead of wasting time making lactose enzymes, the bacteria would keep the gene turned off until it was needed.


Why must you use an enzyme that will not cut anywhere within the gene that you are inserting into a plasmid?

If you are trying to take a gene from a DNA strand and put insert it into a plasmid, you wouldn't want a restriction enzyme to cut that gene up, or else it would be pretty useless. In other words, you need an enzyme or two that cuts outside that gene so that it can be functional after it's inserted into a plasmid. After your gene of interest is inserted into a plasmid, the plasmid can be put back into a bacterium, then you could genetically engineer plants with it or let the bacterium reproduce and produce many copies of a protein that you had wanted to make in the first place.


Is red genes dominant over blackgenes?

Honestly it depends on the animal but i believe it takes many and i mean many many many red genes to be dominant over a black gene. Like if you wanted a seal brown i believe that you would need to equal out the black and red genes, and to get a dark liver chesnut you would need at least two black genes and a good 10 set of red genes this is just what i believe to sort out an answer for now. :)


What if bacteria wouldn't exist?

Well it would be good and it would have downfalls. for me i believe it would be ok but with out diseases you can't heal. Your blood cells and drugs are simple made out of bacteria. so it would be hard to live. then theres bacteria that you need in order to live.


What happens to bacteria over time when exposed to antibiotics frequently?

Bacteria can develop resistance to antibiotics through genetic mutations or by acquiring resistance genes from other bacteria. Over time, the resistant bacteria population can grow, making the antibiotics less effective in treating infections caused by those bacteria. This can lead to treatment failure and the need for more powerful antibiotics.
