Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
a method for getting plasmid DNA into bacterial cells
A
cloning
B
restriction enzymes
C
transformation
D
shock
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Transformation of plasmid DNA into E. coli using the heat shock method is a basic technique of molecular biology. It consists of inserting a foreign plasmid or ligation product into bacteria.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plasmids can be swapped between bacteria in a process called conjugation.

Detailed explanation-3: -That’s true for bacteria as well as plants and animals. So it’s not too surprising that prokaryotes can share genes by three other mechanisms: conjugation, transformation, and transduction.
