Resistance Plasmid: Meaning, Structure and Gene Amplification

In this article we will discuss about Resistance Plasmid, a Group of Conjugative Plasmids which Confer to their Bacterial Host Resistance to Specific Antibiotics.  Meaning of Resistance Plasmid: Resistance factors or resistance plasmids are a group of conjugative plasmids which confer to their bacterial host resistance to specific antibiotics, such as, chloramphenicol, sulphonamide, streptomycin, tetracycline etc., and to several metal [...]

Genetic Material: Properties and Evidence | Cell Biology

In this article we will discuss about Genetic Material:- 1. Properties of Genetic Material 2. Evidence of Genetic Material. Properties of Genetic Material: A living cell is composed of several inorganic and organic components. Among them, one will obviously act as genetic material responsi­ble for controlling hereditary characters. Iden­tification of this genetic material remained con­troversial for a long time. Now [...]
