How do restriction enzymes help make recombinant DNA and transgenic organisms?
Restriction enzymes take apart the DNA in a certain area and allow for a plasmid to be inserted within the gap that is created. Restriction enzyme use is basically the same for both the production of recombinant DNA and for transgenic organisms since an organism can synthesize the DNA that has been inserted into it once it has been placed within the organism. In the case of unicellular organisms the restriction enzyme is first introduced to break apart the DNA and then the plasmid is introduced to create the desired effect. Then the organism can express those genes through further processing of the newly introduced DNA and through mitosis (which is how unicellular organisms reproduce) it can give that gene to its offspring. In the case of multicellular organisms a restriction enzyme and accompanying plasmid must be presented when the organism is just a zygote. This process is how those glow-in-the-dark fish are created and provided that those fish can reproduce they'll also give their traits on to future generations just like single-celled organisms would.
What do organisms create?
Offspring and wastes.
What is a process used to create bigger offspring?
Heredity
Why is mutation in and of itself not evolution?
A mutation changes the DNA of an organism in a way that affects its offspring, either immediately or several generations down the line.The change brought about by a mutation is either beneficial, harmful or neutral.If the change is harmful, then it is unlikely that the offspring will survive to reproduce, so the mutation dies out and goes nowhere.If the change is beneficial, which is a rare occurrence, then it is likely that the offspring will do better than other offspring and so will reproduce more.Once the mutation has manifested itself for the better in the offspring, through natural selection the offspring will mate more and create a new generation with the same manifested mutation. Only at this point can we say that the species has evolved since not all mutations are fruitful and create a new generation with better or different characteristics. In fact most mutations are harmful and thus do not evolve which is why the process of evolution is very slow.
When a change in the DNA of an organism which affects the gametes and can be passed down to offspring?
Genetic mutations help an organism adapt to the environment they live in. So hypothetically yes, but some mutations can create infertile off-springs which in-turn stops the mutation from being passed down. It depends mostly on the change in the DNA and weather or not the organism will continue to pass on the trait.
Group of organisms that can reproduce?
A group of organisms that can reproduce and create viable offspring is called a species.
Why would a cell use meiosis?
to create an offspring with 23 chromosomes in other words to reproduce
What is the difference between produce and reproduce?
Produce means to create, make, or yield something. Reproduce means to create a copy or offspring of something. In short, produce refers to the act of making something new, while reproduce refers to the act of creating a duplicate or offspring of something already existing.
What do sexual and asexual have in common?
They are both ways to reproduce, and both create offspring
Do Cats produce sexually or asexually?
Cats reproduce sexually. Sexual reproduction is what takes place when a male and female of the same species mate to produce offspring of themselves. All mammals reproduce sexually Asexual reproduction takes place when an organism has no sexual organs and spawns through cellular division/splitting in half to create another organism like it's self.
Describe the two ways that bacteria reproduce?
Sexually- meiosis occurs to produce offspring Asexually- parent cell clones itself to create 2 identical offspring
What is repoduction?
A reproduction, such as a painting, is an attempt to create an exact or near exact copy of the original.
What is an organism that supports a virus or other organism?
The answer to this question is a host! A host could be a host cell which a virus uses to reproduce and create more viruses to get you sick!
What couses competition?
The fact that resources are limited. Whichever organism utilizes the limited resources best will survive to create offspring.
Does a sturgeon reproduce asexually or sexually?
Sturgeons reproduce sexually. They have distinct males and females, and reproduction occurs through the external fertilization of eggs by sperm.
What are the features of asexual reproduction?
One single-celled organism must be able to split in order to create a genetically similar offspring
What is the difference between selective breeding and natural selection?
In natural selection, the animals take time and evolve slowly. In selective breeding, humans can transfer genes from one organism into another organism.
