True transformation efficiency is the transformation efficiency at the saturation point, or essentially the highest transformation efficiency that can be attained.
To increase transformation efficiency in a laboratory setting, one can optimize factors such as the quality of DNA, the type of host cells used, the method of transformation, and the conditions during the transformation process. Additionally, using techniques like electroporation or chemical transformation can also help improve efficiency.
True
Some possible reasons for low transformation efficiency during an experiment could include low competency of the host cells, poor quality of plasmid DNA, improper handling of cells during transformation, and suboptimal growth conditions post-transformation. It's important to troubleshoot each step of the protocol to identify the specific cause of low transformation efficiency.
No, Frederick Griffith did not discover bacterial transformation. It was Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty who demonstrated that DNA is the genetic material responsible for transformation in bacteria in their famous experiment in 1944.

no
Heat shock treatment is used in bacterial transformation to increase the uptake of foreign DNA into the bacterial cells. By subjecting the cells to a brief heat shock, the cell membrane becomes temporarily more permeable, allowing for the DNA to enter the cell more easily, thereby increasing transformation efficiency.
The object and its image are congruent.
true
No. And, depending on the process used for transformation, even changing it into the same form will have differing ease and efficiency.
It is greater. You need to look for the SEER (Seasonal Engergy Efficiency Rating) to see the true engergy rating of the heat pump.
