Question

34 multiple choice 1 point heat shock is used in bacterial transformation to make the cells easier for plasmid dna to enter to kill the bacterial cells to release the plasmid dna in bacterial cells to prevent plasmid from getting into the bacterial cells

Explanation:

In bacterial transformation, heat shock is a technique. The purpose of heat shock is to create temporary pores in the bacterial cell membrane, which makes it easier for plasmid DNA to enter the cells. Killing cells, releasing plasmid DNA from cells, or preventing plasmid entry are not the functions of heat shock in this process.

Answer:

A. to make the cells easier for plasmid DNA to enter
