Science. - Odin Online - 04-28-2014 Lets talk Science. Did you know that: One way of grouping plasmids is by their ability to transfer to other bacteria. Conjugative plasmids contain tra genes, which perform the complex process of conjugation, the transfer of plasmids to another bacterium (Fig. 4). Non-conjugative plasmids are incapable of initiating conjugation, hence they can be transferred only with the assistance of conjugative plasmids. An intermediate class of plasmids are mobilizable, and carry only a subset of the genes required for transfer. They can parasitize a conjugative plasmid, transferring at high frequency only in its presence. Plasmids are now being used to manipulate DNA and may possibly be a tool for curing many diseases? RE: Science. - Dutchmerc - 04-28-2014 Nice copy paste.. where is figure 4? RE: Science. - Odin Online - 04-28-2014 Fig. 4 is an enigma. It is kept in a box to prevent quantum observations and is in a state wherein it does and does not exist. I then stored it on a tortoise holding a world held by elephants held by lions. This is science for you. RE: Science. - Oink_mR - 04-28-2014
