What are the research tools that were used in the past and are use today to study DNA structure and function?
DNA atomic structure - X-ray crystallography DNA base sequencing - Polymerase Chain Reaction in conjunction with gel electrophoresis. DNA function - splicing DNA fragments into plasmids, then infecting host bacteria. Other methods include heredity studies. J Ayres
Cells in a cell culture all have the same genetic material because they are A. vectors B. plasmids C. hybrids D. clones?
Cells in a cell culture of similar genetic material are called clones. vectors can be the carriers of viruses . Plasmids are the extrachromosomal genetic material. Hybrids are the cells produced from the combination of two cells.
What are the characteristics of f plasmids?
They are used as DNA delivery units in biotechnology. It replicates independently of the host chromosome and carries information required for its own replication. Also carries information that adds extra characteristics to the host cell, those characteristics are usually not vital for the cell.
Is it wind like structure or wing like structure?
Wing like structure
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.
Do all eukaryotic cells have plasmids?
No, not all eukaryotic cells have plasmids. Plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules that are typically found in prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells primarily contain their genetic material within the nucleus and do not rely on plasmids for their genetic information.
Are plasmids made of DNA?
Yes. Rings of DNA that carry a few to several genes in a circular structure free of introns.
What are the 2 types of DNA plasmids found in microorganisms?
The two types of DNA plasmids found in microorganisms are conjugative plasmids and non-conjugative plasmids. Conjugative plasmids are able to transfer genetic material between bacteria, while non-conjugative plasmids do not have this capability.
Is prokaryote used in plasmids?
No, it's vise versa. Plasmids are used in and by the prokaryotes.
Do all microbes have plasmids?
No, not all microbes have plasmids. Plasmids are small, circular pieces of DNA that are separate from the microbial genome. While plasmids are common in many bacteria, they are not present in all microbes.
Small accessory chromosomes found in bacteria and useful in recombinant DNA procedures are called?
plasmids.
What also contributes to genetic variation?
The two main sources of genetic variation are gene shuffling and mutations. A mutation is a process wherein the structure of a gene is altered.
Plasmids are unique to?
bacteria
What is the structure that allows conjugation to occur?
Conjugation in bacteria occurs through a structure known as a pilus, which is a filamentous appendage on the cell surface. The pilus facilitates the transfer of genetic material, such as plasmids, between bacterial cells during conjugation.
Are plasmids found in plant or animal cells or both?
Plasmids can be found in both plant and animal cells. They are small, circular DNA molecules that can replicate independently of the cell's chromosomal DNA. Plasmids are commonly used in genetic engineering and biotechnology applications.
