Humans share with other organisms (animals and plants)different percentages of genes, for instance, we share about 98 percent of our human genes with chimpanzees, 92 percent with furry mice, and 44 percent with fruit flies.

Viruses frequently infect bacteria and insert new genes into the genetic material of the bacteria When these infected bacteria reproduce asexually which genes would most likely be passed on?

The genes that are inserted by the virus into the bacteria's genetic material would most likely be passed on during asexual reproduction. This can lead to the spread of the viral genes to the bacteria's offspring.


Are hox genes found in bacteria?

Hox genes are a hallmark of multicellular life and are not found in bacteria. Hox genes are just one type of a larger family of gene called "homeobox genes" (watch out, they sound similar!). Bacteria have genes that resemble homeobox genes (Kant et al. 2002) but they're only distantly related to those in multicellular life (Derelle, 2007), and definitely don't have Hox genes. Both plants and animals have homeobox genes, including the subset called Hox genes. The homeobox genes were first found in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster and have subsequently been identified in many other species, from insects to reptiles and mammals.Homeobox genes were previously only identified in bilateria but recently cnidaria have also been found to contain homeobox domains and the "missing link" in the evolution between the two has been identified.Homeobox genes have even been found in fungi, for example the unicellular yeasts, and in plants.But no evidence of hox genes are found in bacteria


How are genetically engineered oil eating bacteria produced?

Genetically engineered oil-eating bacteria are produced by inserting specific genes into the bacterial genome through a process called genetic engineering. These genes usually code for enzymes that enable the bacteria to metabolize oil as a food source. Once the genes are successfully integrated into the bacteria's DNA, they can begin producing the enzymes and consuming oil in their environment.


How does genetic engineering use bacteria to produce human genes?

The best example of this is Insulin produced in E.coli and this is carried out by recombinant DNA technology wherein the desired gene of interest in inserted into a vector system and then into host cell.


What are the transgenic bacteria?

Transgenic bacteria are bacteria that have been genetically modified to contain genes from another organism. These genes are usually inserted to give the bacteria new functions, such as producing a specific protein or metabolizing a particular substance. Transgenic bacteria are commonly used in biotechnology and research.

In many bacteria genes that confer resistance to antibiotics are carried on what dissimilation plasmids exons plasmids factors or transposons?

Genes that confer resistance to antibiotics in bacteria are often carried on transposons. Transposons are mobile genetic elements that can move within a genome as well as between different genomes, allowing for the spread of antibiotic resistance genes among bacteria.
