No, not every gene is transferable. It takes a bit of knowledge about what a particular gene codes for, and where it would correspond in the second organism.

What is a molecule containing DNA from two different organism called?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by your question, but if you are asking about what organisms contain the DNA of another organism, the human body could count as one. The mitochondria within our cells have a DNA that is different from our own DNA strands, which caused many scientists to believe that they might have once been another organism all-together. They replicate using their own processes, too. Hope that helps!


What is the relationship between a transgenic organism and recombinant DNA?

a transgene is a gene that is not native to an organism (eg. it is a gene that is transferred from one organism to another)recombinant DNA is DNA that has essentially been combined with other, different DNA. DNA is double-stranded (the two strands are held together by basepair complementation). during recombination, the strands break apart, thus allowing another strand to bind with either of the original strands:original strandsDNA you want to insert into the organism (aka. a transgene) ]]you break apart the original strands | |and you add your strands |] |]now you have recombinant DNA, which is what a transgene will be when it has been integrated into an organism. it will (hopefully) be expressed correctly.(it's sliiightly more complicated than this haha, and the transgene can integrate (recombine) in numerous ways... but that's a solid foundational understanding of the process)hope this helps!NT


What is a trait that is not expressed when an organism receives genes for 2 different forms of a trait?

A trait that is not expressed when another is present is referred to as a recessive trait.


What makes something transgenic?

A transgenic organism is one that has had its genes altered by genetic engineering and contains some of the genes of another organism as well as its own.


When is a plasmid considered a recombinant plasmid?

When the original function of the gene in the plasmid is altered or another gene is inserted in the non- coding region of the plasmid is called the recombinant plasmid.

What is the essence of recombinant DNA?

Recombinant DNA is DNA this has been obtain from a source other then where it orginanated. In other words, a host has been used to create DNA from another organism.

What are some important processes involved in genetic engineering?

Transgenesis, which is the process of replicating DNA from one organism and inserting it into the DNA of another, creating what is called recombinant DNA

What is a recombinant chromatid?

A recombinant chromatid is a copy of another chromosome that differ just slightly. It is called recombinant since it is a form of artificial creation.

What is the term for moving fragments of DNA from one organism to another?

The term is transgenesis.The product is recombinant DNA, and the resulting organism is transgenic, e.g. a transgenic mouse. But the word "transgenic" is not applied to bacteria.Typical methods of creating recombinant DNA include:* using bacterial plasmids, which are modified and then replaced in bacteria * using a virus as a vector (carrier of modified DNA into a host organism) * microinjection using a micropipette There are other techniques.


What is recombinant DNA technology?

recombinant DNA is a form of artificial DNA which is engineered through the combination or insertion of one or more DNA strands,there by combining DNA sequences which would not normally occur together.


When is a plasmid considered a recombinant plasmid?

When the original function of the gene in the plasmid is altered or another gene is inserted in the non- coding region of the plasmid is called the recombinant plasmid.
