Most probably used host organism is E.coli.
This is called asexual reproduction, where offspring inherit all of their genetic material from a single parent. There is no genetic contribution from a second parent organism in this type of reproduction.
This type of genetic modification is very useful in modern society. We use genetically engineered products often. Insulin is an example and it is produced in a similar manner as described by the above question.
This is known as mutagenesis. This can be achieved in a number of ways, in either a controlled or random manner. Random mutagenesis can be achieved through exposure to UV light or free radicals such as hydrogen peroxide, which would create different mutations in each cell. Controlled mutagenesis can be performed to ensure that all organisms (single- or multi-celled) have the same genetic makeup. One method to modify DNA in a controlled manner involves the use of modified viruses.
A single organism in an environment is called an individual
Meiosis
Single-cell organisms are linked to genetic transformation, they acquires new genetic material from the environment
The genetic makeup AAA BB is called its genotype. It is defined as the genetic makeup of an organism or group of organisms with reference to a single trait, set of traits, or an entire complex of traits.
A single-celled organism without a nucleus is called a prokaryote. Examples include bacteria and archaea, which have genetic material that is not enclosed within a membrane-bound nucleus.
Bacteria, especially E. coli, are commonly used as hosts in genetic engineering due to their ease of manipulation and ability to replicate quickly. They can be modified to carry and express foreign genes, making them valuable tools for producing proteins and studying gene function.
When hereditary information from two parts of a single organism or from two organisms of the same species is combined, it is called sexual reproduction or genetic recombination. This process results in offspring that inherit a mix of genetic material from both parents, leading to genetic diversity within a population. It is fundamental to evolution and adaptation in species.
Mitosis
A single cell organism is also called a unicellular organism. These organisms consist of only one cell that performs all necessary functions for life. Examples include bacteria, archaea, and some types of protists.
