Plasmid is the property of prokaryotic cell i.e. of bacteria generally no mamalian cell have plasmid but ya there can be chances to have lillte part of DNA sequence to be simillar that of plasmid DNA sequence in prokaryotes
1. Scientists remove plasmids, small rings of DNA, from bacterial cells. 2. An enzyme cuts open the plasmid DNA. The same enzyme removes the human insulin gene from its chromosome. 3. The human insulin gene attaches the open ends of the plasmid to form a closed ring. 4. Some bacterial cells take up the plasmids that have the insulin gene. 5. When cells reproduce, the news cells will contain copies of the engineered plasmid. The foreign gene directs the cell to produce human insulin.
When the F factor is in plasmid form within a bacterial cell, the cell is referred to as an F-positive or F+ cell. This means the cell carries the plasmid containing the F factor, which enables the cell to transfer genetic material during conjugation.
No, in conjugation, the F strain serves as the donor of the plasmid (F factor) to the recipient cell. This transfer of genetic material allows the recipient cell to acquire the ability to carry out conjugation itself.

Every plasmid has a copy number that reflects the average number of copies of a certain plasmid inside a host cell(usually a bacterial cell). So a multicopy plasmid, exist in multiple copies in any given bacteria. It is believed that the higher the copy number is, the more efficient the plasmid is at replicating itself.

If you do not give antibiotics, the plasmid may lost after a few generation. it is because bacteria thinks that the extra DNA (plasmid) is not needed as the antibiotic is not present. That is the reason for keeping the culture always in antibiotic selection pressure.
red blood cell is the only human cell that does not contain a nucleus
When the F factor is in plasmid form within a bacterial cell, the cell is referred to as an F-positive or F+ cell. This means the cell carries the plasmid containing the F factor, which enables the cell to transfer genetic material during conjugation.
A bacterial cell can contain multiple copies of the same plasmid or different types of plasmids, which can range from zero to many copies depending on the specific species and growth conditions of the bacteria. The number of plasmids in a bacterial cell can vary and is not fixed.
You can determine if your bacteria contain a plasmid by performing a plasmid extraction followed by gel electrophoresis to visualize the presence of plasmid DNA. Other methods include PCR amplification of plasmid-specific sequences or using molecular biology techniques like restriction enzyme digestion to confirm the presence of a plasmid.

Plasmids have many different functions. They may contain genes that enhance the survival of an organism, either by killing other organisms or by defending the host cell by producing toxins. Some plasmids facilitate the process of replication in bacteria.
No, in conjugation, the F strain serves as the donor of the plasmid (F factor) to the recipient cell. This transfer of genetic material allows the recipient cell to acquire the ability to carry out conjugation itself.
The origin of replication in an expression plasmid is a specific DNA sequence that allows the plasmid to replicate, or make copies of itself, within a host cell. This sequence is essential for the plasmid to be maintained and passed on to daughter cells during cell division.
