Can plant gene cloned to human gene?
Yes, but that does not mean that any viable creature might develop. There are very few limits to what genes can be inserted into what - quite a few creatures have gained fluorescing genes from jellyfish, including mice, and antifreeze genes from an arctic fish have been inserted into a soft fruit (raspberries I think).
Genetic engineering is used in the biotechnology industry to?
synthesize hormones such as insulin and human growth harmones

What is the functions of genes?
Genes control protein synthesis, control cell functions, and determine heredity.
Why do common patterns of genetic control for development exist in animals?
They exist because all these genes have descended from the genes of common ancestors.
What are uses for jellyfish parts?
Cyphozoan (a type of jellyfish) is the only jellyfish harvested for food. Also some species of jellyfish can be used in biotechnology where scientists experiment with the genes from jellyfish e.g GFP (green fluorescent protein) which can be inserted into the cells of other organisms.
Are jellyfish genes passed down to offspring?
Yes, so baby jellyfish know what to turn into.
What is thought to be the significance of the duplication of homeotic genes?
Compared to jellyfish, the increased number of genes made evolution of more complex body forms possible.
What are jellyfish's appearance?
Moon Jellyfish is the most common. Some of the more poisonous types include the Portuguese Man O' War, the Box Jellyfish, and the Irukandji. There's a type of giant jellyfish in Japan that I don't remember the name of, but it would probably be easy to find.
Intended to fluoresce in the presence of water-borne toxins the glofish was created when Zhiyuan Gong spliced genes from a jellyfish and a sea coral into what minnow?
Zebrafish
What is a hunting technique used by a jellyfish?
stinging and paralyzing
Are jellyfish used in medicine?
yeah,bad medicine.
How do people use jellyfish?
Jellyfish are considered a gourmet delicacy. They are often used in cosmetics for their collagen and in natural alternative supplements.
How is hybrid genes used in a sentence?
The corn was resistant to disease because of its hybrid genes.
What is used to insert new genes into plant cells?
Several factors play into introducing new genes into a cell. Plasmids act as a vector to introduce new genes into a cell.
What are used to predict inheritance?
genes,
What are genes used for?
Genes are used to produce a certain protein or protein components for the cell and as a means to transport this information to the next generation.
