The subject you are talking about is probably genetic engineering. If you are able to take a gene from one organism and place it in another then you changed the DNA structure, which most likely can kill the plant, by possibly even creating a cancerous cell. But if the gene is transgenic enough the organism is a transgenic plant or animal.

What is the process by which bacteria take piece's of DNA from their environment?
Conjugation Transformation Transduction (A bacterial cell takes up DNA from its environment One bacterium transfers DNA to another bacterium to which it's physically connected A virus moves DNA from one bacterial cell to another)
What is an agent that is used to carry a DNA fragment isolated from one cell into another cell?
cloning vector
When DNA duplicates what does that mean?
DNA is in the nucleus of a cell. When a cell divides (mitosis) the DNA in the nucleus must first duplicate. Basically an identical copy of the cells DNA is made. This creates another nucleus in the cell with a copy of the DNA. The cell it's self then divides, separating the 2 nuclei. Each cell having one each.
Why would it be advantageous to the cell to have it's DNA molecules tightly condensed into nucleosomes during mitosis?
If you stretch out the DNA molecule form its one end to another, it will be close to 2m long. Therefore before a cell can divide into two during mitosis it is essential that the DNA is tightly and orderly compacted in the nucleus of the parent cell. Proper organization of the DNA is important for transmitting the genetic information of an organism from one cell to another.
When is it necessary for DNA to replicate itself?
When one cell creates another or in other words when one cell duplicate.
In DNA hybridization experiments DNA from one organism is combined with ribosomes from another organism?
No.

How is information from the DNA passed on from one cell to another?
The DNA makes a copy of itself to be passed to the new cells.
In the process of cloning what is the main substance transferred from one cell to another?
DNA

How long can DNA from one cell stretch?
A cell DNA from one cell can stretch 6 feet

When dna from two sources is combined into one single piece of dna, it is known as?
Recombinant DNA.
Why is it important that thr cell's DNA is duplicated before cell division?
If the DNA is not duplicated, then only one cell would have DNA, and a cell cannot live without DNA.
What is the difference between stem cell and cloning?
A stem cell is an undeveloped cell that can theoretically be stimulated to produce any tissue of that species, with the DNA of the stem cell. Cloning is taking the nucleus from one cell and implanting it into another cell with its nucleus removed, replacing the DNA in the target cell with that of the cell the nucleus was taken from.
When is it necessary for DNA to replicate itself?
When one cell creates another or in other words when one cell duplicate.
