DNA cannot pass through a cell membrane as

(i) Describe the characteristics that a cloning vector must posses. (ii) why DNA can not pass through the cell membrane ? Explain. How is a bacterial cell made 'competent' to take up recombinant DNA from the medium ?

Assertion : Special methods are used for transformation i.e., incorporation of recombinant DNA into host. Reason : DNA is a hydrophilic molecule.

Why is it difficult for DNA to pass through cell membrane? How is a bacterial cell made competent to take up DNA (plasmid)?

DNA being hydrophilic cannot pass through the cell membranes of a hot cell. Explain how does recombinant DNA get introduced into the host cell to transfrom the latter.

Assertion : DNA is associated with proteins. Reason : DNA binds around histone proteins that form a pool and the entire structure is called a nucleosome.

Assertion :- DNA is chemically and structurally more stable. Reason : DNA have no catalytic properties.
