When E. coli cells are mixed with recombinant vector DNA and subject to a stress such as heat shock, a small fraction of the cells will take up the plasmid DNA, a process known as :
A.
Ligation.
B.
Transformation.
C.
Transfection.
D.
Digestion.
Select the true statements:
A.) It is possible, through genetic engineering, to fuse a fluorescent molecule (example GFP) with a non-fluorescent protein to create a fluorescent fusion protein.
B.) Proteins are created during gene transcription.
C.) It is possible to observe a fluorescent protein immediately after the plasmid coding for this protein is introduced into a cell.
D.) The plasma coding for a fluorescent protein is also fluorescent.
E.) It is possible to obtain a different color fluorescent fusion protein by replacing the sequence coding for the fluorescent protein in the plasmid for a sequence coding for a fluorescent protein by a different color sequence.
Genetic information can be transferred horizontally from one bacterial cell to another cell of the "same generation" (versus daughter cells), leading to genetic recombination, by all of the following EXCEPT:
A. Gene expression (transcription/translation/protein synthesis)
B. Transformation
C. Conjugation
D. Transduction
E. None of the other four answers (all are mechanisms of “horizontal transfer” genetic recombination)
