Methods of Introducing Recombinant DNA Description A. Transformation 1. Introduction of DNA by a bacteriophage B. Transduction 2. Direct injection of DNA into the nucleus C. Electroporation 3. Uptake of DNA by cells after making them competent D. Microinjection 4. Use of electric pulses to introduce DNA into cells
Options
- AA - 4, B - 3, C - 2, D - 1
- BA - 1, B - 4, C - 3, D - 2
- CA - 3, B - 1, C - 4, D - 2
- DA - 2, B - 1, C - 3, D - 4
Correct answer
C. A - 3, B - 1, C - 4, D - 2
Step-by-step solution
Transformation involves the uptake of DNA by cells after making them competent, transduction is the introduction of DNA by a bacteriophage, electroporation uses electric pulses to introduce DNA into cells, and microinjection is the direct injection of DNA into the nucleus.
