Why is it necessary to re-circularize a plasmid prior to transformation into cells?

Biology
1 answer:
Anuta_ua [19.1K]3 years ago
8 0
It is necessary to use a plasmid instead of linear DNA in transformation (into bacteria) because some bacteria such as E. coli will recognize linear DNA as invading bacteriophage DNA and degrade it instead of being taken up. The bacteria that are naturally competent can actually use linear DNA by degrading one strand and adding the other strand to their genomic DNA.

You need to recognize that the higher on the food chain, the fewer the number of organisms that occupy that level. This is because of the energy that is available from one level to the next has to decrease since it is used for life's processes.

What type of stimulus is required for an action potential to be generated? What type of stimulus is required for an action poten
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

A threshold level depolarization.

Explanation:

In a neuron, the action potential threshold is known as the point of depolarization where the neuron fires, when the neuron reaches a point, it will fire and if it does not reach the point of depolarization, it will not fire and it helps to transmit the information to another neuron.

A neuron transmits the information with the help of electric impulses which are sent through its axon. When a neuron in an inactive phase, more +ve charged ions recline outside the axon membrane. In the process of stimulation, the axon membrane admits more Na+ ions and providing the neuron more +ve charge.
