E) coax DNA into host cells.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Electroporation is a technique in which an electrical field is applied to cells or tissues to create temporary pores in the cell membrane, allowing DNA or other molecules to enter the cell easily. Biologists use it to introduce DNA into host cells for gene expression, gene editing, or other purposes. Thus, the most likely use of electroporation is to coax DNA into host cells.
