Find out below a summary of the myriad effects of poverty, homelessness, and hunger on children and youth. Various resources (from APA and other organizations) have also been listed that provide information and tools on ways to fight poverty in America.
Transformation is one of three processes by which exogenous genetic material may be introduced into a bacterial cell, the other two being conjugation (transfer of genetic material between two bacterial cells in direct contact) and transduction (injection of foreign DNA by a bacteriophage virus into the host bacterium).NA material can be transferred between different strains of bacteria, in a process that is called horizontal gene transfer. Some species upon cell death release their DNA to be taken up by other cells, however transformation works best with DNA from closely related species.
KEY CONCEPTS: Genetic transformation, plasmid DNA, cloning, restriction enzymes, antibiotic selection, gene regulation, transcription, protein expression INTRODUCTION Genetic transformation is the process by which a gene or genes from one organism are transferred to another organism via an engineered molecule of DNA. If the procedure is successful, the organism is capable of producing the protein encoded by the transformed gene, thus creating a genetic change. Genetic transformation is commonly used in
