If you're referring to Stem Cell Research, Scientists can use that DNA to grow an organ that you might need to be replaced with a much lower risk of having the body reject it than if you took it from another person.

For many many different reasons. 1)The tissue sample may be examined to determine the genetic code of a specific gene(s) being studied and to compare the sequences for a large number of samples, for example cancer biopsys and non-cancerous tissues. 2)The tissue maybe examined by DNA sequencing to detect SNP's causative of different diseases or showing spatial/racial groupings.

Scientist would want to extract DNA from plant cells in order to analysis the gene sequences that are

coded in the DNA. By looking at the gene sequences they can determine what proteins the DNA codes

for and see if they can alter the codons for those proteins to create a protein needed for another purpose.

They could also use the understanding of what proteins the plant creates to see if it is possible to

synthesize something with the plant, i.e. bio-pharmaceuticals synthesizing vaccines in tobacco plants

With the ability to remove DNA from an organism, scientists can observe, manipulate, and classify the DNA.

Scientists can identify genetic disorders or diseases from studying DNA.

Scientists can possibly find cures for these causes by manipulating or experimenting with this DNA.

Scientists can accurately sort organisms into classes because of DNA uniqueness. If we didn't have DNA extraction, it would be a lot harder to decide which organisms are different from each other.

Scientists can genetically engineer some organisms to produce beneficial things. A common example is that of insulin. Scientists can genetically engineer insulin production so that people with Diabetes can live longer.

Cloning genes for the most part. Sequencing DNA is another. Examining DNA with PCR is a third.

Why we can not extract DNA from RBCs?

We can not extract DNA from RBCs as they are without nucleus. only the source of DNA extraction is Leukocytes, RBCs are not good source of extraction but we can extract DNA from immature RBCs.


Why do scientists extract DNA?

Scientists might extract DNA for many reasons. In a homicide case, or a case in which an unidentified body has been found, scientists extract DNA from the bones (if only bones are found) to identify Null. To check for birth defects in humans or animals. *In an unidentified creature, scientists will want to check all deails *etc.

Yes and No. It is possible to take a cell from the body and extract its DNA for study. This is mainly used in forensic science. However you would not be able to remove all the DNA in your body as it would kill you.
