Binary number numeric values may be represented by two different voltages; on a magnetic disk, magnetic polarities may be used. A "positive", "yes", or "on" state is not necessarily equivalent to the numerical value of one; it depends on the architecture in use. In keeping with customary representation of numerals using Arabic numerals, binary numbers are commonly written using the symbols 0 and 1. When written, binary numerals are often subscripted, prefixed or suffixed in order to indicate their base, or radix. The following notations are equivalent: When spoken, binary numerals are usually read digit-by-digit, in order to distinguish them from decimal
Transfer DNA binary system Transfer DNA binary system A transfer DNA (T-DNA) binary system is a pair of plasmids consisting of a binary plasmid and a helper plasmid. The two plasmids are used together (thus "binary") to produce genetically modified plants. They are artificial vectors that have both been created from the naturally occurring Ti plasmid found in "Agrobacterium tumefaciens". The binary vector is a "shuttle vector", so-called because it is able to replicate in multiple hosts ("E. coli" and "Agrobacterium tumefaciens"). Systems in which T-DNA and vir genes are located on separate replicons are called T-DNA binary systems. T-DNA is located on the
