Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the role of plasmids in genetic engineering? (2019)
  • Step 1: Understand what plasmids are. Plasmids are small, circular pieces of DNA found in bacteria.
  • Step 2: Learn that plasmids can replicate on their own, meaning they can make copies of themselves.
  • Step 3: Know that in genetic engineering, scientists use plasmids as tools to move genes from one organism to another.
  • Step 4: Realize that when a gene is added to a plasmid, it can be introduced into a host cell (like a bacterium) to express that gene.
  • Step 5: Understand that this process allows scientists to study genes, produce proteins, or create genetically modified organisms.
