What else can I help you with?
Do all microbes have plasmids?
No, not all microbes have plasmids. Plasmids are small, circular pieces of DNA that are separate from the microbial genome. While plasmids are common in many bacteria, they are not present in all microbes.
Small accessory chromosomes found in bacteria and useful in recombinant DNA procedures are called?
plasmids
What type of organisms have plasmids?
Plasmids are commonly found in bacteria and archaea. They are small, circular DNA molecules that exist outside the chromosomal DNA of the organism. Some yeast and plant cells can also contain plasmids.
What does plasmids do?
plasmids are vectors that are used to replicate recombinant DNA in a host organism or cell. they are normally used in cloning experiments.
Plasmids are unique to what?
Plasmids are unique to bacteria and other prokaryotic organisms. They are small, circular DNA molecules that can replicate independently from the host cell's chromosomal DNA. Plasmids often carry genes that provide the host with additional functions, such as antibiotic resistance or the ability to metabolize certain nutrients.
What are the 2 types of DNA plasmids found in microorganisms?
Plasmids are autonomous DNA molecules of varying size which are localized within the cytoplasm of bacteria. There are two kinds:virulence plasmids = determines the virulence factors of the bacteriaresistance plasmids (R-plasmids) = determines the bacteria's resistance to anti-infective agents
Is prokaryote used in plasmids?
No, it's vise versa. Plasmids are used in and by the prokaryotes.
Do eukaryotes possess plasmids in their genetic makeup?
No, eukaryotes typically do not possess plasmids in their genetic makeup. Plasmids are more commonly found in prokaryotic cells.
Do all microbes have plasmids?
No, not all microbes have plasmids. Plasmids are small, circular pieces of DNA that are separate from the microbial genome. While plasmids are common in many bacteria, they are not present in all microbes.
Do all eukaryotic cells have plasmids?
Most plasmids are found in prokaryotic cells, but a few eukaryotic cells also have plasmids. An example of a eukaryote with plasmids is the unicellular yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Small accessory chromosomes found in bacteria and useful in recombinant DNA procedures are called?
plasmids
Plasmids are unique to?
bacteria
Can plasmids self-replicate within a bacterial cell?
Yes, plasmids can self-replicate within a bacterial cell.
Are plasmids single or double stranded?
Plasmids can be either single or double stranded, but most commonly they are double stranded.
Are plasmids found in plant or animal cells or both?
Plasmids can be found in both plant and animal cells. They are small, circular DNA molecules that can replicate independently of the cell's chromosomal DNA. Plasmids are commonly used in genetic engineering and biotechnology applications.
What type of organisms have plasmids?
Plasmids are commonly found in bacteria and archaea. They are small, circular DNA molecules that exist outside the chromosomal DNA of the organism. Some yeast and plant cells can also contain plasmids.
Why do some plasmids have high copy number while others have low copy number?
control of copy number in plasmids
