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
What cell structure is an important agent in modern genetic engineering techniques?
plasmids
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?
Most plasmids are found in prokaryotic cells, but a few eukaryotic cells also have plasmids. An example of a eukaryote with plasmids is the unicellular yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Are plasmids made of DNA?
Yes. Rings of DNA that carry a few to several genes in a circular structure free of introns.
What causes protozoan plasmids?
Protozoa do not have plasmids in nature.
What is a promiscuous plasmids?
plasmids that have transfer systems that allow transfer of DNA to unrelated species are called promiscuous plasmids.
In many bacteria genes that confer resistance to antibiotics are carried on what dissimilation plasmids exons plasmids factors or transposons?
plasmids
What are the 2 types of DNA plasmids found in microorganisms?
Plasmids are autonomous DNA molecules of varying size which are localized within the cytoplasm of bacteria. There are two kinds:virulence plasmids = determines the virulence factors of the bacteriaresistance plasmids (R-plasmids) = determines the bacteria's resistance to anti-infective agents
Is prokaryote used in plasmids?
No, it's vise versa. Plasmids are used in and by the prokaryotes.
What types of plasmids allows a bacterial cell to kill its competitors?
Bacteriocin Plasmids
Plasmids are unique to what?
Plasmids are small segments of genetic material which are passed from one bacteria to another, so plasmids are unique to bacteria, which may also be referred to as prokaryotes.
