What else can I help you with?
Who came up with the idea of genetic engineering?
Genetic Engineering, the technique of DNA cloning was perfected by Stanley Cohen and Herbert Boyer in 1973. Genetic engineering cannot be perfected. It likely never will be. It is an evolving science, roughly 20-30 old (when you consider the complexity of the subject).
What does the term genetic engineering refer to?
From the Web site of safe-food.org, genetic engineering is "a laboratory technique used by scientists to change the DNA of living organisms." Put another way, genetic engineering is "the alteration of genetic code using artificial means" (from www.globalchange.com). Genetic engineering is also called bio-engineering, gene-splicing, gene manipulation, etc. and the organisms that result from the practice are called genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Genetic engineering as a sentence?
DNA is made up of genetic material.Genetic research is a popular field nowadays.
What are the positive and negative effects of genetic engineering?
Genetic engineering when used on microorganisms help in the creation of new pharmaceuticals which cannot be made in any other way.Genetic engineering helps in the process of bioremediation which is the process of cleaning up waste and pollution with the help of living organisms.Genetic engineering has helped lower the overall usage of herbicide and pesticide.Genetic engineering has helped with the production of vaccines and other drugs in plants.Genetic engineering has helped produce quicker and more predictable way of generating new cultivars. Further, the cultivar properties are better known today than it was ever known before.Today, genetic engineering can produce sustainable agriculture.Genetic engineering has produced very useful genetically modified breeds which can tolerate factory farming without any suffering.In humans, genetic engineering is used to treat genetic disorders and cancer. It also helps in supplying new body parts.Although, this has not been done today, genetic engineering has the potential of creating new types of human beings with many advantageous traits.
Why are many scientists and doctors are against the use of genetic engineering?
It's not really safe, science is no guarantee. Plus, the government is the main hold up.
The takes up the plasmid. It now contains the human gene?
I think I know the answer... it's 5
A bacterial cell that has taken up plasmid DNA is?
called a transformed bacterial cell. The plasmid DNA can confer specific traits to the bacterial cell, such as antibiotic resistance, ability to produce certain proteins or enzymes, or other desired characteristics. This process is commonly used in genetic engineering and biotechnology research.
Why must a genetically engineered plasmid contain a genetic marker?
During the experiments for genetically engineered plasmids, a large number of cells are used because the frequency of insertion and recombination of the target gene is very low. This also generates a large number of cells in which the plasmid may not be taken up at all. In order to differentiate genetically engineered cells from normal ones, genetic markers are used which quite frequently are related to some physiological effect.
What is manipulating the arrangement of DNA that makes up the gene called?

What is the difference between plasmid and vector shall you use all vectors as plasmids?
A vector is a plasmid (usually) that has been engineered to readily accept foreign DNA via recombination. There is also usually special genes previously inserted which code for something that would allow you to distinguish between the colonies which have taken the vector up and which have not, after transformation. A plasmid is the type of DNA baceria usually have - it is circular. There are different names for different sizes and shapes of DNA.
Will it ever be possible to speed up the genetic-evolutionary proccess?
When humans breed animals or plants, they are speeding up evolution to create organisms that are more useful to them. Also, genetic engineering could do the same thing (although I am strongly against genetic engineering and it would take me a long time to explain why). The long and the short of it is "Yes."

How can bacteria be transformed with recombinant plasmid?
Bacteria can be transformed with recombinant plasmid by introducing the plasmid into the bacterial cell through a process called transformation. This allows the bacteria to take up the recombinant DNA from the plasmid and express the desired gene or trait encoded in the DNA.
Manipulating the arrangement of DNA that makes up a gene is called what?
Manipulating the arrangement of DNA that makes up a gene is called genetic engineering. This process involves techniques such as gene editing, gene splicing, and gene cloning to alter the sequence of DNA in order to change the characteristics of an organism.
