  1. 1. transformation A process that uses circular rings of DNA, called plasmids, to target a gene of interest from one organism and introduce it into the genome of bacteria to create recombinant organisms
  2. 3. enzymes Enzymes found in bacteria that recognize and bind to certain DNA sequences; cut the DNA at specific base pairs
  3. 5. resistance When bacteria develop random mutations in their DNA, causing them to become resistant to antibiotics
