A plasmid is a circular double stranded DNA usually found in bacteria. Most of them do not have specific functions and altering them does not hamper the bacteria possesing them. A gene of interest can be annealed to this plasmid so as to make the concerned bacteria produce a particular product. Since the bacteria can now produce a new product, the plasmid has been used to alter the characteristics of the organism.

What environmental factor such as hormone that might affect organism's phenotype?
One environmental factor that can affect an organism's phenotype is the presence of stress hormones like cortisol. High levels of cortisol can impact an organism's physical characteristics, behavior, and overall health, leading to changes in the phenotype.
Does clones contain the same genetic material?
Yes, a clone is produced from a copy of the original organism's genes. However, gene expression might differ (I think), and end up producing different characteristics in the clone because different genes are taking effect.

Identify the basic characteristics of life that define a living organism?
There are 6 basic characteristics of a living organism: Movement, reproduction, sensitivity, growth, respiration, excretion, and nutrition. You'll have to find out for yourself whether or not they describe a living organism...... You have to move if you are alive, no matter what speed or quantity You have to reproduce in order for your species to survive You have to have certain amounts of sensitivity to different things. You have to grow because you might not be fully formed when you were born or created A spontaneous generation is a life form that appeared or created itself out of inanimate matter (basically an alive thing popping up out of microscopic stuff)
Where might one find information on Prostista?
Someone might find information on Prostista (a small, single celled, microscopic organism) from a website that does scientific research on this organism.
Can you go back in time and alter it?
No, but there might be advancements in the future to go back in time.
