Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The plasmid shown in Figure 9.5 can be introduced into E. coli through the process of transformation, which involves mixing E. coli cells with the plasmid in the presence of certain chemicals that promote uptake of the plasmid. Microinjection, Ti plasmids and Agrobacterium, and gene guns are methods used for introducing DNA into other types of cells or organisms, such as animal cells, plants, or other bacteria.
