What is the process of introducing foreign DNA into a host cell called?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Transformation

The correct answer is A: transformation. In genetic engineering, transformation means that a host cell takes up foreign or recombinant DNA from outside the cell. The introduced DNA may then remain in the cell, be copied, or express a gene if the necessary conditions are present. In laboratory work, cells may be made competent so that DNA can enter by a suitable method. Option A is correct because it names the process of introducing external DNA into a host cell. Option B, evaporation, is the change of a liquid into vapour and has no role in DNA uptake. Option C, sedimentation, is the settling of particles under gravity and does not describe genetic entry. Option D, contraction, means becoming smaller or tightening and is not the term for foreign-DNA uptake. Memory cue: transformation means a cell takes in new genetic information and may acquire a new trait.
