'Heat shock' method in bacterial transformation:
1. allows selection of transformants
2. promotes uptake of DNA through membrane transport proteins
3. creates pores in the bacterial plasma membrane and allows plasmid
DNA to enter the bacterial DNA.
4. coagulates DNA in the bacterial cell.

Consider the given two statements:
I: Transformation is the genetic alteration of a cell resulting from the direct uptake and incorporation of exogenous genetic material from its surroundings through the cell membrane(s).
II: Transformation is one of three processes that lead to horizontal gene transfer, in which exogenous genetic material passes from one bacterium to another.
