Question asked by Filo student

In order to make the host cell competent Divalent cations such as calcium are used-

  1. The divalent ions have to be in a specific concentration
  2. They cause the DNA uptake by the cell
  3. They increase the efficiency with which DNA enters the bacterium through pores in its cell wall.
  4. All of the above
