An organism that is produced through genetic engineering is considered to be a genetically modified organism (GMO). Insulin-producing bacteria were commercialized in 1982 and genetically modified food has been sold since 1994. Genetic engineering is also called genetic modification. There is a worry among the public that eating genetically modified food may be harmful but scientific agreement is that these crops are no greater risk to human health than conventional food.
What else can I help you with?
Human DNA is spliced into the?
process of gene modification in genetic engineering to introduce specific traits or characteristics into an organism. By inserting segments of human DNA into the organism's genetic code, scientists can create transgenic organisms with desired features. This technique is used in research, agriculture, and medicine to improve crop yield, study gene function, or treat genetic disorders.
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.
Which term describes the entire DNA of an organism?
Genome is the term used to describe the entire DNA of a organism. For instance, if referring to the entire DNA in a human, you would call it: 'the human genome."
An organism's what contains a complete set of instructions needed for making that organism?
An organism's DNA contains a complete set of instructions needed for making that organism. These instructions determine the organism's traits and characteristics by regulating the production of proteins through gene expression.
When genes from one organism are placed into the cells of another organism what is this called?
That depends on what the other organism is. When DNA is inserted into a prokaryote (E. Coli for example), we call it transformation. When DNA is inserted into a eukaryoate (yeast or human cells for example), we call it transfection.

What is the term for RNA or DNA regions that are spliced together during modification?
MOLECULE

Genome is the term used to describe the entire DNA of a organism. For instance, if referring to the entire DNA in a human, you would call it: 'the human genome."
What is recombinant DNA and how is it formed?
when a part or code of the dna is cut and spliced elsewhere it is called recombinant dna. an example direct injection of new dna into the nucleus with a gene gun
What are moving fragments of DNA from one organism and inserting them into another organism?
DNA recombination.
In DNA hybridization experiments DNA from one organism is combined with ribosomes from another organism?
No.
How does DNA determine the traits of an organism?
DNA contains the genes that determine the traits of an organism. Not all the DNA is in gene form but in what some people call "junk DNA". It has been shown by some that even that is important in the individual.

Can you compare gene splicing with gene cloning and recombinant DNA?
Splicing is a cellular process where the DNA sequence is 'edited' before RNA is synthesised from it. This means that one DNA sequence can create different proteins. Sections that are spliced out are called introns, while exons are the sequences that remain. Prokaryotic organisms do not splice their genes, the DNA is copied directly to RNA. Since many biotechnological procedures use bacteria (prokaryotes) to test eukaryotic genes, the sequence needs to be 'spliced' before it can be expressed correctly by the bacterium. To do this researchers isolate the RNA (which lacks the introns) and convert it back to DNA, using reverse transcriptase. They then use this cDNA (complementary DNA) to express in the bacterial system. This is effectively recombinant DNA, because it does not occur naturally in the source organism.
