Best Answer

The vector was inserted into the bacterium so as to artificially carry the foreign genetic materials into another cell.

How does pBR322 work as cloning vector?

pBR322 is a plasmid vector that contains an origin of replication for replication in E. coli, as well as antibiotic resistance genes for ampicillin and tetracycline. It also has unique restriction sites for easy insertion of foreign DNA. Once the foreign DNA is inserted into the vector, the plasmid can be transformed into E. coli cells where it replicates and expresses the inserted DNA.

What animals can cause the black death?

It is caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, which is normally carried by fleas. So technically every animal who has fleas can carry the above bacterium, and therefore any animal may be carrying the black death. However this bacterium left Europe in the 19th century.


The host organism into which a cloning vector is placed is called?

The host organism into which a cloning vector is placed is called a "host cell." This host cell provides the necessary cellular machinery for replicating the cloning vector and expressing the inserted DNA.


What is the first step in inserting a new gene into a bacterium?

The first step in inserting a new gene into a bacterium is to isolate the gene of interest and prepare it for insertion. This can involve cutting the gene with restriction enzymes and ligating it into a vector, which is a piece of DNA that can deliver the gene into the bacterium.


If you place gene in reverse orientation how can it be detected?

Most genes contain restrictions sites. Once you've inserted your gene into the vector you use restrictions sites in the gene and the vector to cut the vector into smaller pieces. If the pieces correspond to the pattern you expect for a reverse orientated gene then you know it is in the reverse orientation.


Is a cloning vector a plasmid?

plasmid is the type of the cloning vector. other cloning vectors includes cosmids, bacteriophage, phagemids, artifiical chromosomes. clonong vectors are the carriers of certain traits to be inserted in non coding regions of the DNA.


What statements about lysogenic conversion is true?

Lysogenic conversion occurs when a bacteriophage (virus that infects bacteria) introduces new genetic material into a bacterium, resulting in changes to the bacterium's properties or characteristics. This can include new toxin production, altered resistance to antibiotics, or enhanced virulence. The inserted genetic material becomes part of the bacterium's genome and is passed on to subsequent generations through cell division.
