This experiment not only demonstrates artificial transformation, but also shows how bacteria can acquire antibiotic resistance by transferring genes for antibiotic resistance that are encoded on plasmids. List three physiological ways by which bacteria become resistant to antibiotics after they acquire the resistance genes. What function can these genes encode that makes the cells resistant to specific antibiotic?
