Scientist must isolate and clone diseased genes in order to study them. A clone of the gene allows scientist to find an exact cure.

How can geographic isolate change a population's gene pool?
they evolve differently to better suit their environment .
What is gene cloning and why do you need to clone a gene?
Gene cloning is the technique of recombinant DNA technology in which a desired gene of interest having a striking characteristic feature is cloned. The gene may be selected because it appears to influence the organism in a striking manner, or to determine the role of the gene in the organism. Genes can be clones for industrial purposes, for instance the production of vaccines and insulin, or for research purposes, to determine what the role of the gene is. Gene cloning requires a basic knowledge of the gene's sequence, or flanking sequences. Genes can be cloned using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), if the sequence is known, or by cutting genomic DNA with restriction enzymes (to create smaller chunks of DNA). Usually, once a fragment containing gene has been identified using restriction enzymes, it is sequenced and PCR is used to isolate the specific sequence within the fragment.
Does clones contain the same genetic material?
Yes, a clone is produced from a copy of the original organism's genes. However, gene expression might differ (I think), and end up producing different characteristics in the clone because different genes are taking effect.
What is the most important factor that holds a gene pool together and prevents speciation?
gene flow
What is the function of the FMR-1 gene?
This gene is located on the X chromosome. The FMR-1 gene is thought to play an important role in the development of the brain, but the exact way that the gene acts in the body is not fully understood.
How do you isolate the gene in genetic engineering?
You isolate the gene in genetic engineering by first locating the gene you wish to be isolated. Then you use a restrictive enzyme to isolate it, and lastly take the gene out
Why should you use therapeutic cloning?
to clone a clincially important gene(to give protein)..eg:Insulin,glucocon,other factors
What are the two methods in which one could isolate a gene?
in a patriarch
What is the process used to isolate a gene from the DNA of one organism and transfer the gene into the DNA of another called?
Genetic Engineering
Why do scientist isolate DNA?
Scientist isolate DNA of the species they want to study. If a scientist want to learn about a particular gene in bacteria, they isolate the genomic DNA from the bacteria. By doing this you can have to total genes of bacteria in the test tube. By PCR or any other method one can study the gene present in the genome of the isolated species.
How can geographic isolate change a population's gene pool?
they evolve differently to better suit their environment .
Is cloning an organism the same as cloning a gene?
no they are not same as the organism as cloning
Information about 16 Sr DNA gene?
sir/mam i want to clone 16 Sr DNA gene. i trannee of an famous institute.so plz give me some knowledge of intrested gene
Can you make plants to emit light?
yes. if somehow we isolate light emitting gene also called "lux" gene and insert it into plant genome and if the gene get expressed the plant is certainly going to emit light.

From which bacteria did scientists isolate a gene to help produce a genetically engineered cotton that resists boll-worm?
tell meh
Are cloned individuals genetically identical to each other?
Baring a random gene mutation in a clone seed cell, yes.
