What is genetic engeniering?
Genetic engineering is the the use of various methods to manipulate the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)of cells to produce biological products or to change hereditary traits
What is a genetic characteristic of the individual?
The genetic traits, both physical and behavioral, that the individual possesses on his personal genome.
What organelle inside of the nucleus contains the cells genetic information?
the nucleus contains a cells genetic information
Do you Think there should be any limitations on genetics engineering Give reason to support your position?
Yes!! Genetic engineering is defined as the direct manipulation of an organism's genes. Though I do believe there should be some limitations on what we do with genetic engineering, it can cure so many genetic disorders and illnesses. Keep in mind that nearly EVERY human disorder has an underlying genetic cause. For instance, people with Sick Cell Anemia have a point mutation in the gene that codes for hemoglobin. This mutation results in abnormal function of the hemoglobin in their blood cells, which causes the cells to turn sickle shaped when they are deoxygenated. It shortens life expectancy to mid 40s, and can cause very painful and potentially lethal complications. However, with genetic engineering we could insert a functioning copy of the gene into a patient's bone marrow cells, and they would be able to produce normal blood cells. In a few months after all their defective sickle blood cells died off, they would be free of the disease. However, I think use of genetic engineering to change a human's appearance, intelligence, or behavior is too much.
What do body cells do not contribute to genetic material?
sex cells
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.
Does genetic damage affects cells but does not affect the offspring?
Most genetic damage in cells does not affect offspring because it occurs in somatic cells, which are not involved in reproduction. However, if genetic damage occurs in germ cells (sperm or eggs), it can be passed on to offspring.
Should scientists be able to research genetic engineering on bacterial cells?
ya
When new cells are produced how will crossing over affect how they appear?
Crossing over during cell division can lead to genetic recombination, resulting in new combinations of genes in the offspring cells. This process can introduce variations in the appearance of the cells by creating unique genetic profiles that may influence physical traits or characteristics.
How can a virus conduct genetic engineering?
A virus can conduct genetic engineering by using it to insert a gene into a cell. The virus containing the gene is called a vector. By changing the cell, you can introduce to other cells.
Is the manipulation of the DNA of cells to change heredity traits or produce biological products?
Genetic engineering
What is a blasticidin?
A blasticidin is any of a class of antibiotics used to select transformed cells in genetic engineering.
How would drugs affect the genetic variation of the cells?
it would get them high
What is a term describing the manipulation of DNA in cells to produce disease-resistant crops and animals for agriculture?
Genetic engineering is the term describing the manipulation of DNA in cells to produce disease-resistant crops and animals for agriculture. This involves altering the genetic makeup of organisms to introduce specific desirable traits.
What are some types of cells that have been transformed?
Some types of cells that have been transformed include cancer cells, stem cells, and bacterial cells for genetic engineering purposes. Transformation can involve altering the genetic material of a cell to express different characteristics or functions.
What is genetic engeniering?
Genetic engineering is the the use of various methods to manipulate the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)of cells to produce biological products or to change hereditary traits
What is the genetic engineering techniques in which DNA is transferred from the cells of one organism to the cells of another organism?
If you ask Monocytic organisms, there are Transformation,Transduction etc.
