Vaccines do not change future DNA. Traditional vaccines work by introducing an antigen to stimulate the immune system without altering the genetic material of the recipient. Some newer technologies, like mRNA vaccines, provide instructions for cells to produce a harmless piece of a virus, but they do not integrate into or modify the recipient's DNA. Overall, vaccines are designed to enhance immunity rather than to alter genetic information.

Can plasmids or bacteriophages be used in vaccines to fight bacteria?

Yes, plasmids can be used in DNA vaccines to fight bacteria by expressing antigens that trigger an immune response. Bacteriophages can also potentially be used in vaccines by delivering antigens or genes into host cells to stimulate an immune response against bacteria.


Is fungi used to make vaccines?

Yes, fungi can be used in the production of vaccines, primarily as a platform for expressing antigens. Certain fungi, such as yeast, are employed in recombinant DNA technology to produce proteins that can be used in vaccines, such as the hepatitis B vaccine. Additionally, some fungal metabolites, like polysaccharides, are explored for their potential as adjuvants to enhance the immune response in vaccines.


Is the manipulation of the DNA of cells to change hereditary traits or produce biological products?

Since biological products, such as human insulin or human growth hormone, are hereditary traits, the manipulation of DNA is performed in order to change hereditary traits, which results in a change in the production of biological products. For example, bacteria do not ordinarily produce human insulin or human growth hormone as hereditary traits. However, manipulating their genome so that they carry human insulin genes or human growth hormone genes is done to change their hereditary traits, such as changes in their production of biological products, so that the bacteria now produce human insulin and human growth hormone.


Why is using a virus to change a cells DNA dangerous?

DNA change/ mutations can be dangerous


A genetic mutation causes a temporary change to the sequences of bases in DNA true or false?

True. Genetic mutations are changes in the DNA sequence, and they can be temporary or permanent. Temporary mutations can be caused by environmental factors or errors during DNA replication, but they might not get passed on to future generations.

How can recombinant DNA technology be used to combat HIV infections?

Recombinant DNA technology can be used to develop antiretroviral drugs that target specific components of the HIV virus to inhibit its replication. It can also be used to produce vaccines that induce immune responses against HIV. Moreover, gene therapy approaches using recombinant DNA can be used to modify immune cells to make them resistant to HIV infection.


When a person is a male then changes to female does the DNA change also?

nope,, his dna is still male dna because dna is unchangeable even if he change his genital. that's why dna can be used to identify an individual.


You were in the Navy and got a lot of vaccines will your baby inherit these changes to your DNA immunities?

Vaccines can only protect an individual. They cannot be inherited from one generation to the next.
