Q: What is the purpose of using plasmids in genetic engineering? (2023)
Solution:
Plasmids are used as vectors to transfer genes into host cells in genetic engineering.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
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.
Step 4: Realize that plasmids help transfer genes into host cells. This means they can introduce new traits or functions to the host.
Step 5: Recognize that using plasmids is a common method in genetic engineering to create modified organisms.
