Question

Why is the uptake of plasmids in natural systems important?

Answer 1

Plasmids are the genetic structure in a cell that can replicate independently of the chromosomes. Small circular DNA strand in the cytoplasm of a bacterium or protozoan.

Uptake of plasmids in natural system is very important because comparison of methods and efficiencies.

It plays a major role in transformation.

The ability to introduce individual molecules of plasmid DNA into cells by transformation has been of central importance to the recent rapid advancement of plasmid biology and to the development of DNA cloning methods.
