Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the context: The problem is asking about a method that uses electricity to introduce DNA into cells.
Identify the key term: The method that uses electricity to introduce DNA into cells is known as 'electroporation'.
Relate electroporation to the options: Electroporation is a technique used in the process of transfection, where an electrical field is applied to cells to increase the permeability of the cell membrane, allowing DNA to enter.
Evaluate the options: Among the given options, 'Transfection' is the process that can involve electroporation as a method to introduce DNA into cells.
Conclude: Based on the understanding that electroporation is associated with transfection, identify 'Transfection' as the method that uses electricity to get DNA into cells.
