The purpose is to benefit people ultimately, I suppose. Gene splicing allows for doctors to inject someone's altered DNA into their body, so as to stop or start the production of an enzyme or protein. This would, in turn, help control someone's Arthritis or cancer or other detrimental issue.

If you wished to rapidly multiply a particular apple tree what method would you use?
mutant gene splicing
What is the process by which genes from one organism are transferred into DNA of another organism?
You would need to use Gene splicing to insert a foreign gene into an organism.
Does gene splicing affect the society?
Gene splicing can have both positive and negative impacts on society. On one hand, it can lead to the development of genetically modified organisms that can help increase food production and address environmental issues. On the other hand, there are concerns about ethical implications, potential health risks, and impacts on biodiversity. Regulatory frameworks and public engagement are important to ensure responsible and safe use of gene splicing technologies.
Which technology allows strands of DNA to be transferred from the cells of one species into the cells of another species?
Recombinant DNA technology, involving the use of restriction enzymes to cut DNA segments and ligase enzymes to paste them into vectors like plasmids, allows the transfer of DNA from one species into another. This process has various applications in genetic engineering, including the creation of genetically modified organisms.
Describe how new genetic information is introduced into an organism through gene splicing?
Gene splicing introduces new genetic information into an organism by combining DNA from different sources, often using recombinant DNA technology. This process typically involves the use of restriction enzymes to cut DNA at specific sequences, allowing the insertion of a desired gene into a plasmid or another DNA vector. The modified vector is then introduced into the target organism's cells, where it can integrate into the host genome, leading to the expression of the new genetic trait. This technique is widely used in biotechnology for applications such as producing genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and developing gene therapies.
What is a sentence using the word splicing?
Splicing into a neighbor's cable wire is illegal.I caught the upstairs tenant splicing into my phone wires.After the technician was done splicing the wires, he applied black electrical tape.
Scientifically use the word hybrid in a sentence?
The plant is a hybrid created by splicing genes from wheat and tobacco.
Why do people want to be on crutches?
Maybe some people just like to use them or they could have a reason to why they want to use it.
Biological social ethical economic or environmental implications of gene therapy?
How can "good" and "bad" uses of gene therapy be distinguished?Who decides which traits are normal and which constitute a disability or disorder?Will the high costs of gene therapy make it available only to the wealthy?Could the widespread use of gene therapy make society less accepting of people who are different?Should people be allowed to use gene therapy to enhance basic human traits such as height, intelligence, or athletic ability?
How do you use splicing ina sentence?
i got one coco nut and i cut it in half and then i spliced it back together
What gene did they use to create glowing mice?
A gene from a firefly
What is the Frankenstein gene and what is its purpose in relation to crops and foods?
The 'Frankenstien' GeneWhen I originally asked this question, I had found this gene referred to as the frankInstien gene on a company's Web Site. I have since learned that it was apparently misspelled and the correct spelling is frankenstien, mainly because that spelling is the one that produced results in an Internet search. Since I did another search and found the information, I want to share it with everyone.Apparently, the term refers to any food that is bioengineered to induce a human gene into a crop. That is, scientists use gene splicing to put a human gene into corn or tomatoes or other crops, grow the crop, then people eat those crops. It does not bother some people, but to me it is totally gross, unhealthy, and could have long-lasting affects on our health and our environment.Additional information from a geneticist:I want to correct some misunderstanding about Frankenstein genes or Frankenstein foods. This is a derogatory term used by non-scientists to refer to genetically modified organisms and the genes that are inserted. One example of a Frankenstein gene is human insulin. This gene is inserted into a specific bacterial cell then the insulin protein is extracted and provided to diabetics. It saves millions of lives and is not gross, unhealthy, or disgusting. Another example is round-up ready corn and soybeans. This does not use a human gene but a bacterial gene. It allows farmers to spray a non-toxic, environmentally friendly, herbicide that saves farmers millions of dollars, seriously reduces harm to the environment, and significantly reduces the health risk to the farm workers.Some additional info to keep in mind. Humans and plants have at least 50% of their genes in common. We share many biochemical pathways and regulatory mechanisms. A single gene doesn't define us or change who and what we are. Considering a single gene insertion as disgusting or unhealthy is similar to labeling mashed potatoes that have been dyed green with food coloring for St. Patrick's day as disgusting and unhealthy.
