Yes, bacterial transformation occurs naturally but can also be induced artificially. Further reading: Plasmid What Is EcoR1? MCQs On Lac... View Article
Crossing over occurs during meiosis. The genes, which are present in very close proximity on the same chromosome, do not cross over generally and... View Article
We can know if the transformation was successful or not by the selectable marker present in the plasmid. Transformants containing antibiotic... View Article
Recombination is the process by which DNA is broken and then reunites to produce different combinations of alleles. Genetic recombination leads... View Article
Transformation is the process by which the bacterial cells take up the DNA from the surrounding environment. Further reading: Plasmid What... View Article
Transformants are selected from non-transformants by the presence of a selectable marker, e.g. transformants can be selected by plating them on... View Article
