2. During the E. coli transformation protocol, you incubated the cells at 37 degrees $\mathrm{C}$ for about $30\min$ in recovery media. What did this step accomplish? A. allows the DNA time to associate with the cells B. allows the cells to express the antibiotic resistance protein C. allows the cells to become permeable to DNA D. allows the cells to divide before being plated
