You are a dog loving scientist who wants to insert into your dog a gene that encodes a protein that protects dogs from heartworms. a dog's cells are not competent, so they cannot take up the gene from the environment, but you know the heartworm resistant gene sequence, have a plasmid, a competent bacterium, and a related (though incompetent) f+ bacterium that lives as an intracellular parasite in dogs. describe a possible scenario by which you could use natural processes to genetically alter your dog to be heartworm resistant.
