1. Write if the statement is true and modify the statement with the correct answer if its false a.Blue colonies in the white-blue screening provide sufficient information on the transfer of recombinant DNA in bacterial cells. b.In blue-white screening, it is only the blue colonies that have survived the effect of antibiotics in the media. c.Bacterial transformation simply means the insertion of a recombinant plasmid into a bacterial cell. d.Competent cells are those bacterial cells that can accept the entry or re-entry of plasmids.
Bacterial Genomics
The study of the morphological, physiological, and evolutionary aspects of the bacterial genome is referred to as bacterial genomics. This subdisciplinary field aids in understanding how genes are assembled into genomes. Further, bacterial or microbial genomics has helped researchers in understanding the pathogenicity of bacteria and other microbes.
Transformation Experiment in Bacteria
In the discovery of genetic material, the experiment conducted by Frederick Griffith on Streptococcus pneumonia proved to be a stepping stone.
Plasmids and Vectors
The DNA molecule that exists in a circular shape and is smaller in size which is capable of its replication is called Plasmids. In other words, it is called extra-chromosomal plasmid DNA. Vectors are the molecule which is capable of carrying genetic material which can be transferred into another cell and further carry out replication and expression. Plasmids can act as vectors.
