The vector, which is often a small, circular piece of dna that can exist outside the bacterial chromosome, is known as a plasmid.

Bacteria and certain other microscopic species contain plasmids, which are tiny circular DNA molecules. Physically distinct from chromosomal DNA, plasmids multiply on their own. They normally contain only a few genes, including some linked to antibiotic resistance, and they can spread from one cell to another.

Recombinant DNA techniques are used by scientists to splice the genes they want to research into a plasmid. The inserted gene is duplicated along with the plasmid when it duplicates itself. Molecular cloning, the process of creating DNA molecules and introducing them into a host cell, uses plasmid vectors as the means of delivering recombinant DNA into the host cell.

Some problems with use of DNA analysis for forensic evidence may occur because of
alisha [4.7K]

Answer: Option D " all of the above "

Explanation: DNA can be a great source of information when used as a forensic evidence. This technique has many advantages and disadvantages when used as a source of information in case of crime.

Identical twins: There are some common fragments of DNA that is same in identical twins so it can be a difficulty in deciding the criminal.

Not enough of a sample: DNA should be present in a detectable amount to be used an sample for evidence, less than this detectable amount is a waste and cannot be used as a sample for evidence.

Contaminated and degraded sample: If the sample of DNA is contaminated or degraded then the result might be incorrect and might not be used as a sample for forensic evidence.

Hence, the correct answers are all of the above.

which technology do environmental scientists use to track vulnerable populations of animals fitted with an electronic collar?
Gnom [1K]
Scientists use radio technology in order to track endangered species. These include radio collars, tags and chips. These devices can then be tracked wither via satellites through GPS technology or by locating the radio waves emitted by these devices using receivers.
These devices have proven very helpful in tracking organisms and monitoring their populations.
