Q: Transformation, the way bacteria acquire new DNA, is:
- A process by which DNA is passed from one bacteria to another through a structure called a pilus.
- A process where a bacteriophage, a kind of virus that infects bacteria, transfers DNA from one bacterial cell to another
- A process where a bacterial cell receives a small amount of DNA from the environment.
- None of the above
A: A process where a bacterial cell receives a small amount of DNA from the environment.

Q: Which of the following is true about the reasons we might want to perform a bacterial transformation?
- Transformation can be used in biotechnology to express desired proteins
- These proteins can be from almost any species
- Applications include production of pharmaceutical proteins, enzymes, and hormones
- All of the above
A: All of the above

Q: Plasmids typically contain:
- An origin of replication
- A drug resistance gene
- The gene for a desired protein
- All of the above, and also a promoter
A: All of the above, and also a promoter

Q: Competent cells are cells that have been treated to:
- Increase the likelihood of uptake of plasmids.
- Store well in a freezer.
- Be resistant to excess rain.
- None of the above
A: Increase the likelihood of uptake of plasmids.
