Electroporation is:
| 1. | the process of separating charged molecules through a gel maintained in an electric field |
| 2. | the process of combining foreign DNA to an electrically charged vector molecule |
| 3. | the process of introducing DNA into cells by the application of high-voltage pulses |
| 4. | the process of protoplast fusion by the application of high-voltage pulses |
Restriction endonucleases present in bacterial cells provide an advantage to the cell because these enzymes:
| 1. | can identify the mutated sequences on the chromosomal DNA and help in their repair |
| 2. | selectively bind to particular nucleotide sequences that may appear in viral DNA preventing its replication in the cell |
| 3. | can cut the plasmid DNA of the bacterial cell that allows them to recombine foreign DNA into their plasmid DNA |
| 4. | help the bacterium take up foreign DNA from their environment and combine it into their genome |
