Answer:

plasmid

Explanation:

Plasmids are small circular double or singe stranded DNA molecules that are distinct from the main chromosomal DNA. They are used in genetic engineering as vectors for replication of foreign DNA or proteins using bacteria as a host organism. The DNA strand is integrated into the plasmid DNA to form a recombinant plasmid that is then transformed into the host.

Plasmids are ideal vectors because of the following characteristics:

  • High copy number per cell
  • Multiple cloning sites
  • Have an origin of replication
  • Have antibiotic resistance gene

There are also diffrent types of plasmids:

  • Degradative
  • Virulence
  • Resistance
  • Fertility
  • Col plasmid

What is a slow, continuous process while what is sudden and less frequent.
vladimir2022 [97]

Explanation:

A slow, continuous process is defined as gradualism that occurs at slow rate but at a steady pace.

For example, stripes of a tiger develop slowly and at a steady pace so that they can hide in tall grass represents gradualism.

Whereas punctuated equilibrium is a process in which there is sudden and frequent changes that results in the formation of new species.  

For example, species living in a sea for thousand of years breed and die over there and suddenly when there is change in sea level than animals must adapt represents punctuated equilibrium.
