How can new genes be introduced into a plant to enhance its characteristics or traits?
New genes can be introduced into a plant through a process called genetic engineering. This involves inserting the desired gene into the plant's DNA using techniques like gene guns or Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The introduced gene can enhance the plant's characteristics or traits, such as improving its resistance to pests or increasing its yield.
How is a glowing tobacco plant created by inserting a firefly gene into the DNA of a tobacco plant?
Through the process of Genetic Engineering
How could you use biotechnology to protect a plant from insect damage?
Biotechnology can be used to engineer plants that produce insecticidal proteins, such as Bt toxins, which are toxic to specific insect pests. By inserting these genes into the plant's genome, the plant becomes resistant to insect damage. This approach reduces the need for chemical pesticides, making it more environmentally friendly.
What is produced by combining genes from different sources?
When combining genes from different sources, whether it be in the plant or animal kingdoms the outcome will result in what is known as a hybrid, or new species with the potential to carry the genes of both original specimens.
Scientifically use the word hybrid in a sentence?
The plant is a hybrid created by splicing genes from wheat and tobacco.
What is a plant that has two dominant genes or two genes called?
a homozygous
A plant known as a pomato is a transgenic plant which contains genes from both?
Pomato is a transgenic plant which contains genes from both paent Potato and Tomato.
Do genetics from the seed come from the plant?
Usually, yes. In evolution and conventional breeding practices, the genetics in the seed do come from the parent plant (vertical breeding). When plants are genetically modified using genetic engineering, the genetics in the seed often contain genes from an organism that is a different species, often a bacteria, that is completely different than the genes in the parent plant (horizontal breeding).
What is most likely true about height of a type plant normal distribution?
several different genes control height (apex)
Is genetic engineering a new science?
Short Answer:Manipulation of genes has been used by humans in farming & agriculture for hundreds of years.Longer Explanation:Genetic engineering in the stictest definition is a fairly new technology. It consists of extracting a gene or genes from a plant or animal and inserting it into another plant or animal, or changing it in some way and inserting it back into the original plant or animal in order to get a desired trait. The most familiar known use of the technology is to develop crops that are resistant to herbicides or plants that produce a substance that kils insects when the plant is eaten by them, though there are lesser-known uses of genetic engineering.Though some might say that the use of genetic engineering includes the method of hybridization, hybridization is a totally different process that has been used throughout time. Another difference is that hybrids cannot be patented in the same way genetically engineered plants can.
If a plant has homozygous tall genes what kimd of genes does the plant have?
If a plant is homozygous tall then it would possess two tall genes instead of a short gene. If for the notation you use B to represent the dominant tall gene and b to represent the recessive short gene the plant would carry and "BB" compliment of genes.
A pea plant with two tall genes is called?
A pea plant with two tall genes is called a homozygous tall plant.
