What is the process by which bacteria take piece's of DNA from their environment?

Conjugation Transformation Transduction (A bacterial cell takes up DNA from its environment One bacterium transfers DNA to another bacterium to which it's physically connected A virus moves DNA from one bacterial cell to another)


Which process is Transformation is the transfer of DNA from a donor to a recipient cell?

Transformation is the process where a recipient bacterial cell takes up free DNA from the environment and incorporates it into its own genome. This allows the cell to acquire new genetic material and potentially new traits.


What are the four steps an active virus takes to reproduce itself in a bacterial cell?

Attachment: The virus attaches to the surface of the bacterial cell. Entry: The virus injects its genetic material into the bacterial cell. Replication: The viral genetic material replicates using the host's cellular machinery. Release: The newly formed virus particles are released from the bacterial cell to infect other cells.


What is the tonicity of a bacterial cell?

Isotonic conditions will not change the cell in bacterial or an human cell. Because the water concentration in the cell equal.Hypotonic conditions will increase the solute in the cell because of the osmotic pressure inside the cell. Cell may burst if to much solute is inside the cell. Bacterial and human cell.Hypertonic conditions is said to have osmotic pressure. Because the concentration in the environment has an higher concentration than inside the cell so all the solute will drive out of the cell and cause it to dry out.


What type of taxis is a bacterial cell exhibiting when it moves toward glucose in the environment?

Chemotaxis - this is the general term for bacterial motility when sensing a compound in the environment. If moving toward it is called positive chemotaxis, if away from it is negative chemotaxis.

What is the process in which bacterial cell takes in which DNA released by a different bacterial cell?

The process is called transformation. In transformation, bacteria take up free DNA from their environment. The DNA can be integrated into the bacterial cell's genome and can lead to genetic diversity within the bacterial population.


What is the process in which a bacterial cell takes in DNA released by a different bacterial cell called?

== == transformation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Transformation is the process in which a bacteria takes in DNA from the environment. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_(genetics) By the way, transduction is the process of DNA transfer by the action of a virus (bacteriophages). The other method of DNA exchange between bacteria is called conjugation, which is the transfer of DNA between bacteria by physical contact.

How large is each cell?

It varies massively. Bacterial cells are very small, the largest cell is the amphibian oocyte or egg cell (its so big you can see it with the naked eye).


In genetic engineering what takes up plasmid?

In genetic engineering, the bacterial cell takes up the plasmid


What is the process of adding foreign DNA to a bacterial cell called?

The process of adding foreign DNA to a bacterial cell is called Bacterial Transformation. It is a technique used very frequently in molecular Biology labs.Ê

What will happen if a bacterial cell is placed in distilled water with lysozyme?

The bacterial cell will undergo osmotic lysis due to the hypotonic environment created by the distilled water, causing water to enter the cell and potentially burst it. The presence of lysozyme will further damage the bacterial cell by breaking down its cell wall, making it more susceptible to lysis.

Does a Bacterial cell have only a cell wall?

No, bacterial cell also have phospholipid bilayers.
