Genetic engineering is helping heart patients by the production of?
Genetic engineering is also helping heart patients, hemophiliacs, and patients with viruses. Through the development of anticoagulants
What do bacteriophage's do in genetic engineering?
To duplicate, viruses insert their genetic material into a host cell along with enzymes. The host cell's internal replication machinery is hijacked, and the cell begins producing the proteins to make new viruses. In genetic engineering, the viral DNA is changed (through a variety of techniques) to include the altered genetic material that is intended to change or replace pieces of the host's genome. It also usually includes a "repair protein" that keeps it from killing the host cell. Special receptors on the surface of the virus allow it to attach to the appropriate cells (for instance certain adeno-associated viruses can insert information specifically into chromosome 19), and the modified DNA is introduced via the usual method of viral reproduction. Instead of replicating new copies of the virus, the cells begin to copy the new genetic material, which then is incorporated into the host's genome.
What kind of genetic material do viruses have?
The genetic material that viruses have is RNA. Viruses are unable to truly carry out the processes associated with holding their own DNA.
What is a true statement of the genetic material in viruses?
it can be DNA or RNA
How do viruses have genetic material but they are not alive?
Viruses are not considered alive because they cannot reproduce on their own. They must invade another cell or bacteria and implant their genetic material into that organism's genome in order to replicate.
When viruses are used as vectors in genetic engineering what is removed and foreign DNA is added in their place?
There is no need to remove anything. The virus has no idea what nucleic acids it has so you just open the chain and add the new segment of DNA. B for plato users

Cells in a cell culture all have the same genetic material because they are A. vectors B. plasmids C. hybrids D. clones?
Cells in a cell culture of similar genetic material are called clones. vectors can be the carriers of viruses . Plasmids are the extrachromosomal genetic material. Hybrids are the cells produced from the combination of two cells.
Why are viruses effective as vectors?
Viruses have proven to be highly effective as vectors since these are biological entities with a natural function of infecting host cells.
Are viruses mechanical or biological?
Biological vectors include viruses as well as plasmids.
Commonly used vectors include?
B. Viruses
What are the positive affects of a virus on a human?
Viruses have been used extensively in molecular and cellular biology studies. These viruses provide the advantage of being simple systems that can be used to manipulate and investigate the functions of cells.Viruses are being used as vectors or carriers that take the required material for treatment of a disease to various target cells.They have been studied extensively in management of inherited diseases and genetic engineering as well as cancers.
How are vectors and viruses related?
They are related in that vectors are the organisms carrying the pathogens or virus itself. A virus relies on the vectors to spread to other organisms and reproduce.

What are viruses genetic materia?
Viruses contain either DNA or RNA.
Biologists change the DNA code of a living organism through what?
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.
What kind of genetic material do viruses have?
The genetic material that viruses have is RNA. Viruses are unable to truly carry out the processes associated with holding their own DNA.
