Competent host refers to the bacterial cells that have the ability to take up the vector (containing Recombinant DNA). Cells are treated with divalent cations (e.g. Ca2+). Then, these cells are incubated with recombinant DNA on ice, followed by heat shock (at 42º), and then putting them back on ice. By this, bacteria are able to take up recombinant DNA.
