Question

What variables can affect the transformation efficiency?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Introduction

The ability of cells to absorb extracellular DNA and express the genes that are encoded by it is known as transformation efficiency. This is dependent on the cells' competence. It can be estimated by dividing the quantity of DNA utilised during a transformation technique by the number of successful transformants. Transformants are cells that have ingested DNA that is foreign, synthetic, or altered and that can express genes on the added DNA.
