What is transformation?

• The use of viruses to transform or genetically

  
  

  engineer cells.

• The measure of how well cells are transformed in a new phenotype.

• The insertion of a foreign plasmid into a bacterial cell which results in new acquired traits.

• Genetic engineering or transformation of mammalian cells.

Examine the results for group 4. Why would this group see growth without RFP in the third plate?

• The bacteria cells did not transform.

• The bacteria cells transformed, but did not incorporate the plasmid containing the RFP gene.

• The bacteria cells transformed, but did not incorporate the plasmid with the arabinose gene.

• Group 4 did not observe growth in the third plate.
