What is agrobacterium mediated gene transfer?
transfer of gene with the help of Ti plasmid present in Agrobacterium which has T-dna region by which gene van transfer.
Why does a gene fit into the opening in the plasmid?
When genes transfer the tra gene nicks the DNA at its origin of transfer creating a pilus so the chromosome (which contains the gene) can transfer to the other DNA.
What term is used for the transfer of a gene from one organism to another?
Horizontal Gene Transfer is probably the term you are looking for
What did the successful transfer of the luciferase gene from an animal to a plant indicate about the functioning of gene?
The successful transfer of the luciferase gene from an animal to a plant indicates that the basic mechanisms for gene expression are shared by plants and animals.
What is the difference between lateral and vertical gene transfer?
Lateral gene transfer is the process of genetic transfer of (mostly) resistance genes through plasmids among bacteria while vertical gene transfer is the transfer of genetic materials that are passed down from parent organism to offspring from one generation to another.
What is the difference between horizontal gene transfer and vertical gene transfer?
Vertical gene transfer uses reproduction as a means of gene transfer through generations, whereas horizontal gene transfer uses non-reproductive methods of gene transfer.
What is gene transfer through embryo injection?
the transfer of gene to the embryo in order to produce transgenic offspring is known as gene transfer through embryo.
What is agrobacterium mediated gene transfer?
transfer of gene with the help of Ti plasmid present in Agrobacterium which has T-dna region by which gene van transfer.
When a gene transfer to a person then what happen to other person?
when a gene transfer to a person then other person is scared of the gene
Why does a gene fit into the opening in the plasmid?
When genes transfer the tra gene nicks the DNA at its origin of transfer creating a pilus so the chromosome (which contains the gene) can transfer to the other DNA.
Horizontal gene transfer in humans?
gene transfer in eukaryotes Gene transfer in eukaryotes may come in the form of mitosis or meiosis. However, horizontal gene transfer, to my knowledge, does not occur in euks. Horizontal gene transfer is when a cell's DNA is transferred to an individual without reproduction. Bacteria have the ability to accept plasmids from other bacteria, and then incorporate the DNA in to their own genome.

What are some key differences between horizintal gene transfer gene transfer and vertical descent with mutation?
horizontal gene transfer refers to a transfer of DNA to another cell that is not its offspring. Vertical occurs when 2 organisms have sex with their penis and produce offspring, it receives genetic material from ancestors (parents)
We are putting a gene from one species into another what are we actually transferring?
You would be actually transferring a set of codes expressed as codons that will form the gene. You would be cutting one gene from a chromosome and inserting it in to another chromosome. This is called lateral gene transfer. You would use an intermediate such as a plasmid or virus to complete this transfer. Vertical gene transfer is another name for the genes that a parent passes to their offspring.
Can a gene taken from plant cell be introduced in to animal cell?
Theoretically, such a gene transfer is possible. However, there is no guarantee that the inserted gene will still be able to function normally. There may be some issues with gene expression. In addition, a project like this where there is a gene transfer from the plant to the animal system will not be approved unless there is a strong economic motive.
