Transposons and their role in transgenic plants?
to produce a marker free plants
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
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.
Why do you artificially produce plants?
to speed the natural reproductive process to produce genetically identical plants
Are transgenic crop plants registered for use in the US?
Yes. Most are herbicide resistant (soybean, canola) or produce insecticidal proteins (BT corn, cotton).
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.
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
What types of plants are used to make alcohol?
Plants do not produce alcohol, but their fruits and crops can be fermented into alcohol. For example, the juice of grapes ferment to produce wine. And potato can be used to make Vodka. These liquids contain ethanol alcohol.
What method is preferred to generate transgenic plants?
Since transgenic plants contains foreign gene of desired function of other organisms.So the technique of rDna technology is used.Then the rDNA is cultured in the lab then after the formation of small plant it is grown in the outside entertainment.in this way a transgenic plant is produced.
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.
