What is the correct difference between a competent cell and a transformed cell?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A competent cell is ready to take DNA and a transformed cell has taken DNA

Competence is a physiological state in which a living host cell has been treated or naturally enabled to take up external DNA. The cell may be able to bind and internalize a plasmid, but competence alone does not prove that uptake has occurred. After the external DNA enters and is maintained or expressed in the cell, the cell is described as transformed. Therefore option D gives the correct sequence: competence is readiness for DNA uptake, whereas transformation is the result of successful genetic introduction. The other options wrongly claim that the cells are dead, are proteins, or lack DNA.
