Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which technique is used to introduce foreign DNA into a host cell?
Correct Answer: Transformation
  • Step 1: Understand that foreign DNA is DNA that comes from another organism.
  • Step 2: Know that a host cell is a cell that will take in the foreign DNA.
  • Step 3: Learn about the process called transformation, which is how foreign DNA is introduced into the host cell.
  • Step 4: Realize that transformation is commonly used in genetic engineering and cloning.
  • Step 5: Remember that transformation can involve methods like using heat or chemicals to make the host cell more permeable to DNA.
