plasmids are circular chains of DNA found in bacteria. genetic engineers remove the plasmids out of the bacteria and use enzyme to cut them where they want it cut. after they manipulate the plasmid, they reinsert into the bacteria to observe the changes that were made.
The bacteria is usually the source of most of the plasmids that are used in genetic engineering.
What else can I help you with?
Which genetic engineering branch is most useful for the goal of supplying evidence in court?
Forensic genetics is the branch of genetic engineering most useful for supplying evidence in court. It involves analyzing DNA samples to establish biological relationships, identify individuals, and determine the source of biological evidence found at a crime scene.
What uses of genetic engineering would most likely be debated?
The use of genetic engineering in creating designer babies, altering human traits for cosmetic purposes, and manipulating the germline to pass on genetic modifications to future generations are topics that would likely be debated due to ethical, social, and safety concerns.
What is a circular DNA strand used in recombinant DNA?
It is called a plasmid. Plasmids are extrachromosomal self-replicating circular forms of DNA present in most bacteria, such as E. Coli, containing genes related to catabolism and metabolic activity,and allowing the carrier bacterium to survive and reproduce in conditions present within other species and environments.
Does cancer result from genetic mutations-?
Mutating Cells can be a source of Cancer, but not necessarily. All mutating cells do not cause Cancer.
What is DNA from one cell combined DNA from another cell?
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.
Do all eukaryotic cells have plasmids?
Most plasmids are found in prokaryotic cells, but a few eukaryotic cells also have plasmids. An example of a eukaryote with plasmids is the unicellular yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Which genetic engineering branch is most useful for the goal of supplying evidence in court?
Forensic genetics is the branch of genetic engineering most useful for supplying evidence in court. It involves analyzing DNA samples to establish biological relationships, identify individuals, and determine the source of biological evidence found at a crime scene.
What are the Social issues relating genetic engineering?
there are many issues dealing with genetic engineering, most people who go through genetic therapy come out with a disease, when they didn't before
What is most a benefit of genetic engineering?
production of human insulin through genetic modification of bacterial genes
What is most clearly a benefit of genetic engineering?
production of human insulin through genetic modification of bacterial genes
Identify Application of biology in genetic engineering?
Genetic engineering is the artificial transplantation of Heriditary material[genes] of an organism. Genetic engineering is one of the most important field of biology.It has produced such varieties of plants and animals which can fulfill the requirements of food for 1 arge population. Genetic engineering is very important in the diagnosing of heriditary diseases e.g=Haemophilia, colour blindness e.t.c
What is the part of the cell that contains all the genetic information?
In a eukaryotic cell most of the genetic information is in the DNA of the chromosomes in the nucleus.There is some DNA in mitochondria and chloroplasts, and this DNA also contains genes. For example, one version of a human mitochondrial gene can cause blindness.In a prokaryotic cell, most of the genetic information is in the single chromosome, which is a naked circular DNA molecule in the cytoplasm. There are also some genes in small rings of DNA called plasmids. Some recombinant DNA techniques (genetic engineering) make use of plasmids for inserting genes into bacteria.
Which universities are making the most advances in Genetic Engineering and Synthetic Biology Synbio?
up
Are plasmids single or double stranded?
Plasmids can be either single or double stranded, but most commonly they are double stranded.
Which contributed the most to the increase in the world population electron microscope antibiotics genetic engineering or sonograms?
Antibiotics
Is corn without genetic modification better for you?
Most corn has been genetically modified, if only by centuries of plant selection. Of more concern is whether it has been subject to trans genetic engineering. For example does it contain genes of the three toed newt?? Or whatever. DON'T let them confuse you between genetic modification and trans genetic engineering.
A dog called the Maltese doesn't shed This type of dog most likely came about through?
genetic engineering
