Direct gene transfer is the transfer of naked DNA into plant cells, but the presence of a rigid plant cell wall acts as a barrier to uptake. Thus, protoplasts are the favored target for direct gene transfer. Polyethylene glycol-mediated DNA uptake is a direct gene transfer method that uses the interaction between PEG, naked DNA, salts and the protoplast membrane to affect the transportation of DNA into the cytoplasm.

The velocity (v) - time (t) plot of the motion of a body is shown below :

Neoprene is formed from chloroprene. It is prepared by free radical polymerisation. The monomer of neoprene is chloroprene. It is used for preparing gaskets, conveyor belts etc.
