transformation is to introduce a foreign DNA segment to a competent cell.

competent cell means a cell that have ability to take a foreign DNA.

plasmid is genetic element that one can integrate a DNA segment. it has its promoter, resistance gene, multiple cloning site...

Why use bam h1 ans sau3a1 in plasmid transformation?

BamHI and Sau3A1 are restriction enzymes that can be used to linearize or digest plasmid DNA during the transformation process. Linearizing the plasmid with these enzymes makes it easier for the foreign DNA to be inserted and integrated into the plasmid. This helps in efficiently producing recombinant plasmids with the desired DNA insert.


When plasmids are used to produce a desired protein what happens?

When plasmids are used to produce a desired protein, the gene encoding for the protein is inserted into the plasmid. The plasmid is then introduced into a host organism, such as bacteria, which then replicate the plasmid and express the protein. This allows for large-scale production of the desired protein.

What is an altered plasmid?

An altered plasmid is a modified version of a circular DNA molecule called a plasmid. These alterations can include the insertion, deletion, or modification of specific genes or DNA sequences within the plasmid to change its function or properties. Altered plasmids are commonly used in molecular biology research for genetic engineering purposes.


What is roll of calcium chloride in making competent cells in transformation?

The addition of calcium chloride to a cell suspension promotes the binding of plasmid DNA to Lipopolysaccharide. Positively charged calcium ions attract both the negatively charged DNA backbone and the negatively charged groups in the Lipopolysaccharide inner core. The plasmid DNA can then pass into the cell upon heat shock, where cells are cooled to a low temperature (+4 degrees Celsius) and then heated to a high temperature (+42 degrees Celsius) for a short time.

How can bacteria be transformed with recombinant plasmid?

Bacteria can be transformed with recombinant plasmid by introducing the plasmid into the bacterial cell through a process called transformation. This allows the bacteria to take up the recombinant DNA from the plasmid and express the desired gene or trait encoded in the DNA.


Mechanism of cacl2 in competent cell preparation?

competence is the phenomenon exhibited by the cell during the particular stage of cell cycle by bacteria....it is log phase. During this stage the cell can accept any foreign DNA to enter in to it...so cell are grown upto the log phase or mid log phase and then transformed with the plasmid DNA

What is the difference between recombination and transformation?

Recombinants take up the plasmid but do not incorporate it into the DNA. Transformants take up the plasmid and integrate it into the DNA. Recombinants wouldn't express the new genes while Transformants will.

How molecular mechanism of bacterial transformation is carried out?

Basically, transformation refers to the uptake and incorporation of naked genetic material by a competent cell. Most bacterial cells are not naturally competent(able to take up naked genetic material). The kinds that are use a type 4 pilli to get the genetic material into the cell. This process is very rare in nature, since it requires naked genetic material to be present, from a lysed cell, as well as a competent cell to take up the genetic material. When the DNA/RNA is taken up, it is often degraded by restriction enzymes. If it is not degraded it can exist as extra chromosomal DNA, much like a plasmid, or it can be incorporated into the cells chromosome. Scientists use heat, pH, or osmotic shock in lab to make cells artificially competent.
