What is the purpose of using plasmids in genetic engineering? (2023)
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand what plasmids are. Plasmids are small, circular pieces of DNA found in bacteria.
Step 2: Learn that plasmids can carry genes. Scientists can insert specific genes into plasmids.
Step 3: Know that plasmids act as vectors. A vector is something that carries genetic material into another cell.
