yes, e.g. using a process called transfection.

Describe how animal cells can be transformed by directly injecting DNA?
It is much like doing it with plant cells. You insert DNA into the egg cell. Then once in the cell the enzymes usually responsible for DNA repair help insert forein DNA into the chromosomes of the cells that have been injected.:)
Does a virus have eukaryotes?
thank makes no sence.. a eukaryote is a cell with a nucleus. technically a virus isn't even a cell... its just DNA/ rna in a protein coat. it cannot reproduce unless it has a host cell to insert its DNA/rna into.
If a cell's DNA were not copied before cell division the cell could?
Tickle itself
Does DNA have a cell membrane?
DNA is inside the cells Nucleus so how could it have a "cell" membrane? Aha! You didn't know that did you? You. DNA are what fills up the middle of a nucleus inside of a cell. The nucleus is the "brain" of the cell.
What is it called when you insert DNA in to a bacterium?
Recombinant DNA
What must reproduce inside a virus?
Nothing reproduces inside a virus. It has to latch on the a host cell and insert its' DNA or RNA and then make the host cell reproduce virus particles.
How do you enter comments in excel?
To put comments into a cell, with the cell selected go to the Insert menu and pick Comment. You could also right click on the cell and pick Insert Comment from the shortcut menu that appears.
Some organisms use singlestranded rather than doublestranded DNA In these organisms which enzyme would probably not be needed for DNA replication?
Some viruses have single stranded DNA molecules. These viruses do not have the machinery to synthesise the DNA on their own. They insert their DNA in a living cell where the DNA synthesis takes place.
Enzymes allow viruses to insert their genetic materials into the host cells DNA how does the virus benefit from this action?
Turning the host cell into a virus
What is the enzyme function of restriction enzymes?
We believe the function of the restriction enzyme is to protect an organism from foreign DNA as restriction enzymes cleave DNA strands (making them useless). The idea is that bacteria use this to protect against viral infection as viruses attach to the cell and insert their DNA into it in order to "take over" the cell. Restriction enzymes recognize this DNA as foreign and begin to chop it up, saving the cell.
Why is DNA the boss cell?
DNA is not a cell.
How did the bad E. coli develop?
a long-ago cell appears to have been infected with a bacterial virus. This particular virus had the ability to insert its own DNA into the bacteria's chromosome without harming the bacterium - and to remain there. Now, every time this bacterial cell divided, the virus DNA, being now a part of the bacterial DNA, was passed on to every daughter cell
