This technology allows us to do cool things such as "reprogram" bacteria to make important medicines for us

• selective breeding

• cloning

• polyploidy

• recombinant DNA

Which is used to cut DNA molecules at specific points?

• gel electrophoresis

• PCR analysis

• a restriction enzyme

• recombinant DNA

What is the role of plasmids in bacterial genetics?

• They are the main genetic material of bacteria

• They are small DNA molecules that can replicate independently

• They are proteins that control bacterial metabolism

• They are lipids that form the bacterial cell membrane
