<p>The primary purpose of verifying transfection success is to ensure that the introduced gene is successfully expressed in the host cell, thereby increasing the reliability of the results by minimizing potential errors and inconsistencies.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Stable transfections result in long-term gene expression and yield a stable, homogeneous cell population, whereas transient transfections involve short-term gene expression and produce a heterogeneous cell population.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Transient transfections result in temporary gene expression, which may not be suitable for long-term studies, and can lead to variability in gene expression levels, whereas stable transfections provide consistent and prolonged gene expression.</p> Signup and view all the answers
