small, easily manipulated circular molecule... easy to purify, stable, and perhaps most importantly... small enough that you can get a bacterial cell to take it in.

∙ 9y agoRecombinant DNA refers to artificial DNA formed by combining constituents from different organisms. Bacteria is often used in this research because of their rapid cell replication and the presence of a plasmid in bacteria which is used to insert new DNA strands.

∙ 11y agoThat last answer was TOTALLY plagiarized! I found his exact answer, word for word, in my Biology book. He should have at least paraphrased:
1.
One way that recombinant bacteria is used for human applications is in the production of a human growth hormone that treats pituitary dwarfism. Recombinant bacteria are known for producing large amounts of insulin. The human gene for insulin is put into a bacterial plasmid using techniques of genetic engineering.

The type of recombinant bacteria most often used to mass produce genes is?

Technology used to produce plants with better nutritional content?
there nutritional needs are blood,and webs
Splicing DNA from two different organisms produces a new DNA segment called?
When DNA contains parts from two or more organisms it is recombined. Recombinant DNA is often used in genetic engineering. A natural process of DNA recombination is called sexual reproduction.
Are recombinant proteins low cost?
Recombinant proteins are not typically low cost to produce due to the complex processes involved in their production, purification, and characterization. However, advances in technology and production methods have made the cost of recombinant proteins more affordable compared to traditional methods. The cost of producing recombinant proteins can vary depending on factors such as the type of protein, production scale, and purification methods used.
Describe the essential features of the use of bacterial plasmid?
Bacterial plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules that replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome. They can carry genes that provide advantages to bacteria, such as antibiotic resistance or the ability to metabolize specific compounds. Plasmids can be manipulated in the lab and used as vectors to introduce genes into bacteria for research or industrial purposes.

Explain how DNA technology transfer bacterial genes from cell to cell?
I think you must rethink about your question, but still I am giving the answer as I can understand that you are asking about recombinant DNA technology where bacterial DNA is used as it is a cloning vector (plasmid). In recombinant DNA technology the particular sequence of DNA that we want to replicate or want to produce in huge number, is attached either with plasmid of bacteria or a DNA of bacteriophage and thus produce the recombinant or hybrid DNA which is copied each time when the bacteria or bacteriophage multiply. In this way the hybrid DNA will be transferred from parent cell to daughter cells.
What is the Genetic engineering technique used for creating monoclonal antibody?
recombinant DNA technology
What was the experiment used for cloning?
Recombinant DNA technology was used with a sheep like animal named dolly.
Which type of DNA technology is used to cause bacteria to produce human insulin?
The type of DNA technology used to cause bacteria to produce human insulin is recombinant DNA technology. In this process, the gene for human insulin is inserted into the genome of a bacterium, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli), using techniques such as restriction enzymes and ligase enzymes. Once the gene is inserted, the bacterium is then able to produce human insulin, which can be purified and used for medical purposes. This technology has revolutionized the production of insulin, making it more accessible and affordable for people with diabetes. Recombinant DNA technology has also been used to produce many other human proteins, such as growth hormone and blood clotting factors, with great success.
