The new human-bacterial DNA is known as recombinant DNA.
DNA is spliced into bacterial DNA in rings called plasmids.
That they have both DNA Bacterial DNA is a (closed) circle, those of human is lineair (straight) if you stretch it. Bacterial DNA does not have Proteines, Human DNA has Proteines. Bacteria have also RNA The DNA of bacteria is easy to reach , those of human not.
The only reason that scientists use bacterial DNA rather than human DNA is because bacterial DNA is much more simpler and can reproduce unbelievably quick.
The small DNA segement in a bacterial cell is called the bacterial gemone
Its the difference between DNA and RNA. DNA = Deoxyribonucleic acid RNA = Ribonucleic Acid. Meaning they have different structures based on the different sugars. And also the fact that DNA is double stranded (in the double helix form) and RNA is single stranded.

how genetic engineers remove sections from human dna for splicing into bacterial dna?
The only reason that scientists use bacterial DNA rather than human DNA is because bacterial DNA is much more simpler and can reproduce unbelievably quick.
Bacterial DNA is single strand. Human DNA in the nucleus is double helix. So, with human DNA, the DNA must first split apart before an RNA molecule can read it.

a firm called GTC Biotherapeutics has spliced human DNA into goats to produce milk that contains therapeutic human proteins, among them a protein called antithrombin that prevents the formation of blood clots.
when a part or code of the dna is cut and spliced elsewhere it is called recombinant dna. an example direct injection of new dna into the nucleus with a gene gun
