Bacterial Transformation

In this video, Biology Professor (Twitter: @DrWhitneyHolden) discusses the process of transformation in bacteria, a cool way that bacteria can obtain foreign DNA for their own use. For information on other mechanisms that bacteria use to take up foreign DNA, see Biology Professor's videos on conjugation (http://youtu.be/YycVGqBs1p0) and transduction (http://youtu.be/uJH1G7MDC5E). Great for MCAT Biology Review!
