Transgenic: This kind of bacteria is formed by transfer of genetic material from another bacteria. The transfer may be natural or by genetic techniques.
Mutant: This kind of bacteria is also a modified one at genetic level, but not due to transfer of genetic material from other bacteria or organism, but due to genetic changes in the organism itself. This changes may be due to UV rays or ionising radiations, or other mutantion stimulating agents (mutagens)
What else can I help you with?
What are the transgenic bacteria?
Transgenic bacteria are bacteria that have been genetically modified to contain genes from another organism. These genes are usually inserted to give the bacteria new functions, such as producing a specific protein or metabolizing a particular substance. Transgenic bacteria are commonly used in biotechnology and research.
Difference between direct and indirect selection of mutant bacteria?
Direct selection occurs when the bacteria are cultured in conditions where only the mutant will grow. For example, if a mutant bacterium has gained resistance to a specific antibiotic, only the mutant will be able to grow on media containing that specific antibiotic. Indirect selection occurs when the bacteria are cultured in conditions where the growth of the mutant is different from the growth of the wild type.
What is a sentence for transgenic?
taking dna and putting it into another creature is called transgenic.
What is the most common protein produced by transgenic organisms?
The most common protein produced by transgenic organisms is insulin.
A mutant strain of bacteria that has no ribosomes is incapable of what?
It would be incapable of protein synthesis. The ribosomes are responsible for the assembly of amino acid molecules, to form a proteins that are determined by the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA molecules.
Transgenic bacteria examples?
Example of transgenic bacteria are- Escherichia coli and Streptococcus mutans.
What Transgenic bacteria can be used to produce?
Genetically modified bacteria can be used to produce. This is a transgenic bacteria.
Can insulin be made by using transgenic bacteria?
Yes. In fact, currently insulin manufacturers worldwide use transgenic (recombinant) bacteria to produce insulin efficiently.
What are the transgenic bacteria?
Transgenic bacteria are bacteria that have been genetically modified to contain genes from another organism. These genes are usually inserted to give the bacteria new functions, such as producing a specific protein or metabolizing a particular substance. Transgenic bacteria are commonly used in biotechnology and research.
What is the purpose of transgenic bacteria?
To make bacteria with new abilities. Like eating oil.
How are transgenic bacteria useful to humans?
Transgenic bacteria are useful to humans for producing valuable substances such as insulin, enzymes, and vaccines through genetic engineering. They can also be used in environmental cleanup by breaking down pollutants or producing biofuels. Additionally, transgenic bacteria can help in research to study gene function and disease mechanisms.
Why do transgenic bacteria that have the gene for human insulin produce insulin produce in great abundance?
bacteria reproduce quickly. The more transgenic bacteria there are, the more insulin is produced. (I am taking an online Biology course and this question was asked, and this was the answer the online class gave me)
What is one practical application for each of the following transgenic bacteria transgenic animal transgenic plants QUICK?
Practical applications are: bacteria: they are easy to grow animal: study genes and improve the food supply plant: They are an important part of our food supply because they produce a natural insecticide so they don't have to be sprayed.
Can you get Alzheimer's disease when bitten by a transgenic mouse or when cut with a surgical tool that has the mouse's blood on it?
Alzheimer's disease is not transmitted by a virus or bacteria, nor is DNA transferred from a transgenic mouse.
Difference between direct and indirect selection of mutant bacteria?
Direct selection occurs when the bacteria are cultured in conditions where only the mutant will grow. For example, if a mutant bacterium has gained resistance to a specific antibiotic, only the mutant will be able to grow on media containing that specific antibiotic. Indirect selection occurs when the bacteria are cultured in conditions where the growth of the mutant is different from the growth of the wild type.
Is ice-minus bacteria a transgenic micro-organism?
Yes, ice-minus bacteria is a transgenic microorganism because it has been genetically modified to lack the gene responsible for the formation of ice crystals. This modification is done to prevent frost formation on plants.
What are transgenic mammals?
Transgenic mammals are mammals produced by genetic engineering of two species of animals within the same class genre eg. Tiger + Lion =Tigons a transgenic mammal.
