Cells in a cell culture of similar genetic material are called clones. vectors can be the carriers of viruses . Plasmids are the extrachromosomal genetic material. Hybrids are the cells produced from the combination of two cells.

What is bioculture?
A combination of culture and genetic area which affect how humans behave.
What is the primary advantage of sexual reproduction?
Sexual reproduction is more advantageous than asexual reproduction because it allows for genetic diversity. In asexual reproduction there is only one source of genetic material whereas with sexual reproduction there are two sources of genetic material.
A is not a living thing it is made of genetic material inside a protein coat?
Virus
Which type of reproduction results in the greatest amount of genetic variation?
That would be sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction allows for independent assortment and crossing over to occur. This is fancy language for the genetic material gets mixed up a lot. Since the genetic material gets mixed up, variation will result.
The original source of genetic variation that serves as the raw material for natural selection is what?
Generally, mutation.
Plasmids are unique to what?
Plasmids are small segments of genetic material which are passed from one bacteria to another, so plasmids are unique to bacteria, which may also be referred to as prokaryotes.
Do protists have genetic material?
yes, DNA is found in the Nucleoid Region, then there are Plasmids, which also contain genetic material.
A bacterium has one that holds its genetic material?
yes. it has only one chromosome that holds its genetic material, however they may also have plasmids that contain genetic material
Bateria exchange genetic material?
Bacteria exchange genetic material, in the form of plasmids, through conjugation. Conjugation is achieved when a pili from once cell attaches to the cell wall of another cell..
Is a nucleus found in every cell?
No, prokariotic cells have don't have nuclei. Their genetic material is contained in nucleoids (and eventually plasmids).
What is the relationship between plasmids and recombinant DNA?
Vectors and plasmids are related because a plasmid is a type of vector. A vector is a DNA molecule used to transfer foreign genetic material into another cell. A plasmid consists of an origin of replication and also the transgene insert.
Is DNA found in bacteria?
Yes DNA or more specifically genetic material is one of the fundamental requirements for something to be classified as alive, which bacteria are. Bacteria do not conventionally have a nucleus so their genetic material is stored in plasmids, rings of DNA.
What is the source of most plasmids used in genetic engineering?
plasmids are circular chains of DNA found in bacteria. genetic engineers remove the plasmids out of the bacteria and use enzyme to cut them where they want it cut. after they manipulate the plasmid, they reinsert into the bacteria to observe the changes that were made.The bacteria is usually the source of most of the plasmids that are used in genetic engineering.
Do fungal cells have plasmids?
It does not contain chloroplast because there is no any green pigment exist, and they doesn't make food by photosyntesis.
What is the difference between the original plasmid and the recombinant plasmid?
Orginal Plasmids are extra chromosomal genetic material present in eukaryotes and some prokaryotes.Recombinant plasmids contain a gene of intrest ie,individual gene carrying a specific function can be inserted in to a specific site on original plasmid in cell culture via transformation.So the recombinant plasmid contain both gene of intrest and native genes.
How does bacteria exchange genetic information?
on plasmids in a process called conjugation
Is it true in gene therapy scientists take advantage of a bacteria's ability to get inside a host cell?
Not true, as bacteria do not enter host cells. The advantage taken from bacteria is their ability to take on plasmids from other bacteria is a form of bacterial genetic information change. A multiple of plasmids are extracted from bacteria, subjected to a bacterial restriction enzyme that cuts the plasmid is specific places and then genetic material, perhaps mammalian, is inserted into the plasmid and ligased. The bacteria are induced to take up these plasmids. A statistical amount of bacteria do so and then begin expressing the genetic material that was inserted in the plasmid. Insulin was developed this way, as a replacement for animal insulin. The insulin genes were inserted into plasmids and then expressed greatly by the bacteria.
