I think it has to be an embryo or it won't work. Plant embryos are inside the seed.

Is it true to transform a plant scientists inject DNA into an adult plant?

Yes, plant scientists can use genetic engineering techniques to insert new DNA into an adult plant. This process is known as plant transformation and allows for the introduction of desired traits into the plant's genetic makeup.


To genetically modify a plant scientists introduce DNA into an adult plant?

To genetically modify a plant, scientists insert foreign DNA into plant cells. This is not a perfectly efficient process and results in some cells not taking up the foreign DNA. Generally, foreign DNA is attached to an extra piece of DNA called the marker DNA which is used to select only those cells that have accepted the foreign DNA. Once these cells are selected, they are vegetatively propagated in plant tissue culture media till they reach a certain stage. After which they are transferred to soil.


How do scientists genetically map DNA of a pea plant?

Usually by using a karyotype.


Can Scientists can produce plant food just like a leaf can?

They remove the cell wall, the cells can take up DNA by themselves, or it can be inserted directly into the nucleus.Plant cells can also be transformed without removing the cell wall. DNA that codes for a gene of interest can be inserted within a length of DNA that also has coding for transposon activity. The DNA is then attached to ultra-fine particles of gold, which are "fired" into the plant cells using a pneumatic gun. There are plant enzymes that become activated in response to the mechanical trauma to the cell and some of those enzymes can pick up DNA fragments and insert them into the nucleus. DNA repair enzymes will find the DNA fragments, and because of the transposon components, will insert the entire piece of DNA into the plant genome.Usually this is done to plant tissue cultures. Because this is an inexact process, many plant tissue culture "colonies" will be bombarded with the gold particles "laced" with DNA and scientists will screen the cultures for one or more that had a successful insertion.


What does bacteriophage inject into a cell?

A bacteriophage ("eater of bacteria") inject their DNA (or RNA) into the cell.


What are the two ways scientists transform plant cells without using plasmids?

Scientists can transform plant cells by using Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a bacterium that naturally transfers its DNA into plant cells, or by using gene guns to deliver DNA-coated particles into plant cells using a high-pressure gun.


Can you kill yourself if you inject yourself with animsal DNA?

well it may develop into cancer if other DNA is mixed into your body's cell. but not inject anyway.

Can you really inject yourself with avian DNA and get wings?

No. Injecting avian DNA into your body would not give you wings, nor should it affect your DNA.
