Crystals of Bt toxin produced by some bacteria do not kill the bacteria themselves because
Digrammatically represent the experimental steps in cloning and expressing an human gene (say the gene for growth hormone) into a bacterium like E. coli?
State how Agrobacterium tumifaciens has been made a useful cloning vector to transfer DNA to plant cells.
Agrobacterium is a pathogen that affects several dicots and delivers a piece of DNA known as ‘T-DNA’ to transform normal cells to tumor cells. This potential of Agrobacterium has been used to transfer desired gene into the plant. The desired gene is inserted in the T-DNA region and the bacterium is allowed to infect the plant. In this way, the desired changes are made in the plant.
How did the process of RNA interference help to control the nematode from infecting the roots of tobacco plants?
