How are plasmids removed from bacterial cells?
Well, sweetheart, plasmids can be removed from bacterial cells through a process called curing, where the bacteria are treated with certain chemicals or heat to encourage the loss of the plasmid. Alternatively, you can also use techniques like centrifugation or filtration to physically separate the plasmids from the bacterial cells. Just remember, plasmids may be small, but they sure can be a pain in the butt to get rid of!
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.
Would you find plasmids in the nucleus?
No, plasmids are typically not found in the nucleus. They are small, circular DNA molecules that exist independently of chromosomal DNA and are primarily found in the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria. In eukaryotic cells, plasmids can be present in the cytoplasm of organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts but are generally not located in the nucleus.
Which cell organelle is not present in Eukaryotes?
A Eukaryotic cell does not have a flagellum.
Small accessory chromosomes found in bacteria and useful in recombinant DNA procedures are called?
plasmids
Can you get the same plasmids that you get on BioShock 1 and 2 in real life?
No, you can't. Plasmids, just like almost everything in the Bioshock games, are made up.
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
Do mitochondria have plasmids?
No, mitochondria do not have plasmids. Plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules often found in bacteria and other prokaryotic organisms, but not in eukaryotic organelles like mitochondria. Mitochondria have their own separate DNA that is usually in the form of a circular chromosome.
What types of plasmids allows a bacterial cell to kill its competitors?
Plasmids can carry genes for producing toxins like bacteriocins or restriction enzymes that can inhibit or kill bacterial competitors, promoting the survival and proliferation of the host cell. These plasmids confer a competitive advantage to the host bacteria in environments where resources are limited.
What cells have plasmids?
The prokaryotes, bacteria being the main ones.

Is prokaryote used in plasmids?
No, it's vise versa. Plasmids are used in and by the prokaryotes.
Do eukaryotes possess plasmids in their genetic makeup?
No, eukaryotes typically do not possess plasmids in their genetic makeup. Plasmids are more commonly found in prokaryotic cells.

Which cell organelle is not present in Eukaryotes?
A Eukaryotic cell does not have a flagellum.
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.
