What are genes How do they differ from bacteria?
some genes are skinny some are boot cut but bacteria are bacteria
What is the definition of 'genetics engeeniring'?
genetic engineering involves the transfer of genes from one organism to an unrelated species and this done with the help of bacteria
What have scientists discovered about simple genes like bacteria?
Bacteria are living organisms not genes, your question does not make sense.
The use of genetic engineering to transfer human genes into bacteria?
This results in bacteria expressing human proteins or genes.
Viruses frequently infect bacteria and insert new genes into the genetic material of the bacteria When these infected bacteria reproduce asexually which genes would most likely be passed on?
Both the original and the new genes
How does DNA technology transfer bacteria genes from cell to cell?
DNA technology will transfer bacteria genes from cell to cell.
Are hox genes found in bacteria?
Hox genes are a hallmark of multicellular life and are not found in bacteria. Hox genes are just one type of a larger family of gene called "homeobox genes" (watch out, they sound similar!). Bacteria have genes that resemble homeobox genes (Kant et al. 2002) but they're only distantly related to those in multicellular life (Derelle, 2007), and definitely don't have Hox genes. Both plants and animals have homeobox genes, including the subset called Hox genes. The homeobox genes were first found in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster and have subsequently been identified in many other species, from insects to reptiles and mammals.Homeobox genes were previously only identified in bilateria but recently cnidaria have also been found to contain homeobox domains and the "missing link" in the evolution between the two has been identified.Homeobox genes have even been found in fungi, for example the unicellular yeasts, and in plants.But no evidence of hox genes are found in bacteria
How do you find genes unique to candida albicans using bioinformatics?
By exploring in biological databases such as NCBI you can find the specific genes of any organism. By aligning the genes of Candida with related species of bacteria or fungus one can fish out the unique genes of Candida that are not common in other organism. There are tools for these sequence alignments (eg:BLAST, FASTA)
Why do scientist isolate DNA?
Scientist isolate DNA of the species they want to study. If a scientist want to learn about a particular gene in bacteria, they isolate the genomic DNA from the bacteria. By doing this you can have to total genes of bacteria in the test tube. By PCR or any other method one can study the gene present in the genome of the isolated species.
Most cells except bacteria are?
genes
Name the smallest bacteria?
Mycoplasma are the smallest bacteria. Species within the genus Mycoplasma typically have about 0.6 million base pairs of DNA containing 460 genes (4.6 million base pairs and 4300 genes in E. coli for comparison) and the smallest are about 0.2-0.3 micro-meters in diameter. There are 110 known species of Mycoplasma and are found in many environments, including as part of the normal human flora.
Adaptations of species are determined by the genes contained in the DNA code?
No, the genotypes of species are determined by the genes contained in the DNA code, not adaptation.
