### alteration:

Transformation
* Most transformation depends on energy
  - produces heat
* business imperative in today's ever-changing and volatile markets.
* can also occur between mechanical energy and other types of energy
  - begin when a person is renewed by some spiritual experience
* cause changes to the world.
* change in form of a pollutant within a compartment
  - to a higher, more significant level of organization
* come to life with the use of mirrors, models and technology.
* comes in a variety of forms.
* common laboratory technique used in genetic engineering.
* connotates the change in form, appearance, and character.
* continuous process.
* contributes to development.
* has consequences
  - importance
* improves ability.
* involves integration of donor DNA into the recipient chromosome by recombination
  - our bodies, and souls
  - steps
  - the incorporation of extracellular DNA from the environment
* is actually a state of consciousness
  - an occurrence
  - any process that results in offspring being of different types from their parents
  - both an event and a process
  - defined in terms of substitution and equivalence of expressions
  - intensional change
  - mapping
  - something that is little understood in our society, and often goes unrecognized
* is the DNA uptake mechanism possessed by bacteria
  - depth of the Christian spiritual experience
  - idea of healing and forming over past divisions
  - most primitive of mechanisms for gene transfer among bacteria
  - nonspecific uptake of free soluble DNA by a nonrelated cell
  - process of converting design into form
  - proof of salvation
  - solution, one soul at a time
  - term used in geometry, mapping appears in topology
  - uptake of DNA from outside the cell
  - treated as an event rather than as a mental, physical, and emotional process
  - used as a tool to understand gene function and regulation
* means breaking out from individualism to collective reflection and action
  - change, which death of something so that a rebirth can take place
  - growth or change
* occur because of a growing awareness of what is transitory compared to What Is.
* occurs if energy changes from one form to another
  - naturally in some species of bacteria , and can also be done artificially
  - over time
  - when the bacterium uptakes exogenous DNA from the environment
* primitive form of sexual reproduction.
* process that brings newness and interest.
* refers to the ability to alter the data being moved into the warehouse
  - tools to introduce functional foreign genes into plant species
* represent activity relationships where resources are converted into other resources.
* restores people to health, wholeness, and a more natural way of being.
* theme for mythology, reality, and spirituality.
* twinning occurs in pre-existing crystals and thus secondary form of twinning.
* usually happens over time, just as the tree grows year by year.
* vehicle of change.
+ Transformation (genetics): Genetics :: Bacteria
  * Transformation occurs naturally in some species of bacteria, and can also be done artificially. Bacteria that are capable of being transformed, whether naturally or artificially, are called 'competent'.
