scientist make transgenic organism because they want to improve things or foods they study...For instance, we have seen that some types of sharks seem to have a natural resistance to developing certain types of cancer. What if we could isolate that trait by safely moving it into rats? We could then perhaps move it a second step, into humans. Less cancer = better. Same goes for many things that other animals do "better" than humans (insulin production, high blood pressure etc). Also, as a believer in transhumanism, I have to mention the possibility of not just removing bad things from our genome, but also ADDING good things. The possibilities are, literally, only limited by our imagination and will to improve.

Why are plants important to the survival of other organisms?
The reason why the food that plants make is important not only to the plant themselves, but to other organisms, is because the nutrients that the plant makes from photosynthesis not only helps the plant but other organisms that feed off of the plant and the plant's nutrients.
Why should scientists communicate with other scientists?
The best reason for sharing your ideas is to find out what other scientists are working on; they may have a piece of the puzzle that will help you in your own research, and vice versa. The more scientists can share and collaborate, the more they can help to solve some of the most pressing problems facing society.
How a mutation may not affect an organisms traits?
A mutation does not affect an organism trait for a reason. It is neutral which depends on the environment.
Why was wegener's theory not accepted by all scientists?
Wegner's theory was not accept because he didn't have much evidence to support his theory with and scientists thought that there might have been a land bridge between the continents. Another reason to why his theory was rejected was that he was a foreigner, by that; the scientists didn't really take him seriously.
Why do scientist believe protists should be broken up into several kingdoms?
1. Because there are too many organisms in the Protist Kingdom. 2. Some organisms are way different compared to each other.
What is the main reason that scientists try to determine the evolutionary ancestors of newly discovered organisms?
so they can determine if the organisms will be harmful to humans
Life science What is the reason for genus?
So we can categorize organisms. Their scientific name contains of a genus and a species. Some organisms are part of the same species, so scientists have to take the next step and use the genus to categorize orginisms.
Why do scientists use scientific names for organisms?
Scientists need to use scientific names for multiple reasons. Here are three of these reasons. First, it is to avoid confusion. You see, many organisms share a common name and differs from place to place. If scientists used the common names, it could lead to incorrect data. Another reason is that it describes an organism. It brings out the organisms certain characteristics. Lastly, Latin will not change over the years. As you most likely know, Latin is a dead language, or not spoken anymore. These are three reasons why Scientists use the scientific names instead of the common names.

What medical products may result from research into transgenic plants and animals?
they are used in biological and medicine reason , product of pharmaceutical drugs, experimental medicine and agriculture
What is the reason for the narwhal tusk?
It is a tooth, not a tusk, and scientists have not yet discovered what it is for.
What scientists stressed the separation of science reason and faith?
Francis Bacon
How do trees help organisms survive?
reason why organism need trees
What is a tiny particle that has characteristics of both living and nonliving things?
This is (generally) referring to a VIRUS particle. Viruses can reproduce (a characteristic of living organisms) but may also be crystallised (a characteristic of non-living organisms). For this reason, a good number of scientists prefer not to talk of a virus as a living thing and even find discord classifying it under the normal taxonomic concepts and rules.
What do scientists think is the reason that irregular galaxies may not have consistent shapes?
they think that....
