What else can I help you with?
Transgenic crop plants which contain the insecticidal protein gene from the bacterium bacillus thuringiensis are not registered for use in the US?
false
What of the following is not a use for transgenic organisms?
Using transgenic organisms as food sources is not a common use. Benefits of transgenic organisms include producing pharmaceuticals, understanding gene function, and improving crop resistance to pests and diseases.
Why do farmers use irrigation to harvest plants or to water crop's to keep crop's from freezing or to plant crop's?
All of the above.
How come that you have crops between the main crop?
Sometimes producers like to use the "main crop" as a nurse crop for aiding in the growth of another crop like clover, alfalfa, or other grasses that were seeded in along with the nurse crop. The main crop, be it barley or triticale or corn, acts as a kind of protector for the newly establishing plants underneath, and also as a source of nutrition when the main crop is harvested for grain or silage. Once the nurse crop is harvested, then the plants underneath can grow into plants that are intended for hay or pasture use.
Why are transgenic animals produced?
Transgenic animals carry a deliberately inserted foreign gene. There are many reasons why transgenic animals are produced. Some of those reasons are so that farmers can use selective breeding to produce animals that have desired traits and some transgenic animals have been created for chemical safety testing.
What do scientists use to make transgenic organism?
transgenesis or cloning
How do people use crop rotation?
crop rotation is when you change your main crop because that crop took out all of the needed nutrients from the soil. then they choose a new crop that requires different nutrients. they use it because if you keep using the same crop the plants will not grow anymore because the soil is all out of nutrients. hope this helps!!!
Farmers collected blank from plants they liked?
Farmers will collect seeds from plants that they especially like. If a crop turned out especially well, they will use seeds from that crop for the next planting to increase the chances that it will also turn out well.
What is it called when a farmer plants different crops in order to use less nutrients or different nutrients from the soil?
Crop rotation. If you plant the same crop year-after-year. That crop will use up all the nutrients specific to the needs of the plant. Crop rotation involves planting a different crop each year - thus the nutrients in the soil are more evenly used.
Can insulin be made by using transgenic bacteria?
Yes. In fact, currently insulin manufacturers worldwide use transgenic (recombinant) bacteria to produce insulin efficiently.
What is an organism called that contains genes from other species?
A transgenic organism is probably the best answer, but pretty much all living things share genetics, a wide variety of genes are used and reused, conserved and co-opted repeatedly to meet new needs. "The same homeotic genes that control body segmentation in the lowly fruit fly appear to have been tapped to control the body plan in vertebrates in general, including human beings. This means that our DNA contains a lot of stuff that isnt used right now, that might have served a purpose in the past, and may be useful in the future, and that much of the DNA we have and dont use might be in use in other species now, wich is why its possible for a cow to have 97% of the same DNA as us and look so different, because we use different parts of it
What are four ways in which transgenic animals have been used?
1. Transgenic E. coli is used to mass produce amino acids, vitamins and organics used as supplements for animals. 2. Plants such as corn and soy have the bt gene, which gives them pest resistance, lowering the need of pesticide use. 3. GFP (green fluorescent protein) is mass produced using various microbes after the gene coding for it is transcribed into them. 4. Transgenic turf-grass can synthesize protein which can help resist drought.
