yes, combining DNA will obviously create a brand new unique double helix. there are occasionally mutations and undesirable characteristics (addiction, bipolar, schizophrenia, immune system vulnerabilties, oncological weakness etc...) but over time, human genes have been combining in such a way that every generation (so far) has been more intelligent, have better immune systems and we are getting taller! Just 300 years ago I would be considered a VERY BIG and tall man at 5'8", 175 lbs...now a lot of this is environmental, better food, better medicine, which are in turn a result of increasing intelligence, aptitude and physical well being. So w/ few exceptions...genetic changes are in FACT a good thing.

Where do flowers get their colors from?
A flower's color is determined by the genetic instructions in its DNA. DNA is the genetic blue print for an organism. However the amount of sunlight and soil content can sometimes make some changes in the color of the plant.
Why changes that take place in a sperm cell or an egg cell can affect an embryo?
Because changes in the genetic make up of sperm or egg will lead to the changes in the zygote also. Since embryo develops from the zygote, those changes in the sperm or egg are reflected in the embryo also.
Describe the importance of genetic engineering?
Genetic engineering is important because if we did not have it some people would suffer from not having their cells perform normally and it is used to help make abig amount of medicine, such as insulin, to help people who have diabetes.
What kind of nucleic acid make up genetic material?
The nucleic acids DNA and RNA make up genetic material.
What is the genetic makeup of an individual?
Genetic make up of an organism is called its genotype
Are Changes in the genetic make-up are normally helpful or harmful?
emmilee
Could you modify the DNA of a virus and make the virus helpful?
Yes. In fact, that is how the Genetic Therapy, a legitimate scientific field, is conducted.
What do you call the gradual changes in the genetic make up of a population as a result of emigration and immigration of organisms?
Gene flow.
Which is the process of making changes in the DNA code of living organims scientists have produced bacteria that can make human proteins?
genetic engineering

Which observation shows that cellular differentiation does not involve changes in the genetic make up of cells?
A single root cell from an adult carrot can grow into an entire carrot plant.
What is the genetic mechanism that may have been responsible for the base sequence changes between humans and gorillas?
One genetic mechanism that may have been responsible for the base sequence changes between humans and gorillas is mutation. Mutations are random changes in the DNA sequence that can occur over time, leading to genetic differences between species. Other mechanisms such as genetic drift and natural selection may also play a role in driving genetic differences between humans and gorillas.
How can Alport syndrome be prevented?
Since it is possible to determine if a woman is a carrier, or if an unborn child has the condition, genetic counseling can provide helpful information and support for the decisions that affected individuals and their families may have to make.
How do you make a codicil?
