13-3 Cell Transformation
Transforming Bacteria
During transformation, a cell takes in DNA
from outside the cell. The external DNA
becomes a component of the cell's DNA.

Transforming Bacteria
Foreign DNA is first joined to a small, circular DNA
molecule known as a plasmid.
Plasmids are found naturally in some bacteria and
have been very useful for DNA transfer.

Transforming Bacteria
The plasmid has a genetic marker—a gene that
makes it possible to distinguish bacteria that carry the
plasmid (and the foreign DNA) from those that don't.

Applications of Genetic Engineering
If transformation is successful, the recombinant
DNA is integrated into one of the chromosomes of
the cell.

Genetic Engineering and
Recombinant DNA
1. Plasmid is removed from donor (bacteria)
2. DNA is removed from human cell
3. The DNA is cut for insertion into the plasmid
4. The plasmid is snipped to make a place to insert the
human DNA
5. A recombinant DNA is formed
6. The plasmid is inserted into host/donor (bacteria) cell
7. Host cell reproduces and contains the human DNA into
the plasmid

A common method of determining whether
bacteria have taken in a recombinant plasmid is
to
a. introduce them into plant cells.
b. introduce them into animal cells.
c. treat them with an antibiotic.
d. mix them with other bacteria that do not have
the plasmid.
