What else can I help you with?
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.
Are daffodils transgenic plants?
At this time (December 2013), there is no indication that daffodils are transgenic plants.
Transgenic crop plants which contain the insecticidal protein gene from the bacterium bacillus thuringiensis are not registered for use in the US?
false
Transposons and their role in transgenic plants?
Transposons are DNA sequences that can move within a genome, potentially disrupting genes. In transgenic plants, transposons can be used as a tool to insert foreign genes into the plant genome. The transposon can carry the foreign gene to a new location in the plant's DNA, leading to the production of a transgenic plant with new traits.
Why are transgenic animals produced?
Transgenic animals carry a deliberately inserted foreign gene. There are many reasons why transgenic animals are produced. Some of those reasons are so that farmers can use selective breeding to produce animals that have desired traits and some transgenic animals have been created for chemical safety testing.
Are transgenic crop plants registered for use in the US?
Yes. Most are herbicide resistant (soybean, canola) or produce insecticidal proteins (BT corn, cotton).
Why do scientists make plants and farm animals that are transgenic for human antibodies and hormones?
This is a way to produce large amounts of the antibodies and hormones cheaply without legal recourse
Which plants produce heat as a natural process?
Certain plants, such as skunk cabbage and lotus, produce heat as a natural process through a phenomenon called thermogenesis.
What has been an advantage of produce transgenic plants?
Greater land production, wider range of suitable land, disease resistance, greater environmental tolerance, less pesticides, fungicides, and fertilizers. GM plants are better competitors for land, water and sunlight. That's why they are bred transgenic, for the benefits.
Do weed plants produce oxygen as part of their natural process of photosynthesis?
Yes, weed plants, like all plants, produce oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis.
Is glucose a synthetic?
No, glucose is not a synthetic. It occurs in nature because all plants produce and contain it, which is typically ingested by animals.
Two applications of transgenic organisms?
A transgenic organism has genes from other species inserted into its genome. Two of its applications are to improve yield in plants and for research purposes in animals.
