Detailed Solution

Transformants are cells that successfully take up and express foreign DNA, while non-transformants are cells that do not take up foreign DNA.

  • Transformants: Cells showing new traits because they received and integrated external DNA during transformation.
  • Non-Transformants: Cells that fail to take in DNA, thus remaining unchanged.

Examples in Biotechnology

  1. Bacteria receiving a plasmid with antibiotic resistance gene = transformants.
  2. Bacteria without plasmid uptake = non-transformants.

Importance

  • Helps in genetic engineering experiments.
  • Used in cloning, insulin production, and recombinant DNA technology.
