Stage 1;

The scientist gets a sample of the gene that is to be transferred from one organism to another. Enzymes are used to cut the gene from the DNA, and then the gene is allowed to insert itself into tiny circles of bacterial DNA called plasmids. In this process, a lot of other bits of DNA are added to the plasmids. The plasmids with the desired gene are allowed to infect a culture of bacterial cells, and then the bacterial cells that have succeeded in acquiring the plasmid with the desired gene are identified. They are then grown as a pure cell culture, each being a clone of identical cells that bears a different gene.

Stage 2;

From the clones, the one that bears the desired gene is selected. To accomplish this, a radioactive probe, which is a mirror image of the desired gene, is used.

Stage 3:

The gene is transferred into the plant. In some species, this can be done through using infectious plant plasmids carrying the desired gene to penetrate the cell wall. In other plants, the cell wall is removed, the cells are zapped with electricity which briefly opens pores in the cell membrane and allows the plasmid with the desired gene to slip through. The more commonly used approach is to literally shoot the gene into the plant cells using a particle gun. The gene is coated onto tiny gold pellets and loaded into the gun. When the gun is fired, a burst of high-pressure helium gas slams a DNA-coated pellet through the thick cell wall and into the interior of the cell. Once inside the cell, the injected gene dissolves from the pellet and combines with the cell's own DNA. The cells that have received a pellet are selected and using tissue culture techniques, the cells are induces into developing adult plants. The process is complete.

What are the implications of Transgenesis?

The implications of transgenesis is that we are introducing new genes into our world and they will impact ecosystems, genetic biodiversity, health of individuals, survival and evolution of populations.


Is transgenesis a biotechnology technnique?

Yeah, I would say it would be because Transgenesis is the process of introducing foreign DNA into a genome. Therefore manipulating the DNA which then becomes Genetic Engineering or Genetic modification technologies, leading to modified crops etc. I'm pretty sure that's right because I'm studying this at school, I'm in year 12.


What is transgenic silkworm?

A transgenic silkworm is one that has been genetically modified to possess specific traits or characteristics, such as producing silk with enhanced properties or incorporating foreign genes for research purposes. This can be achieved through the introduction of targeted genetic material into the silkworm's DNA using techniques like gene editing or transgenesis.


Would a transgenic mouse be a clone?

Cloning and transgenesis are the most recent reproduction technologies. Whereas a cloned animal is genetically identical to the one from which it came, a transgenic animal is one into which a new gene has been introduced or in which an existing gene has been modified by human intervention.Thus cloning, potentially decrease genetic diversity of a population whereas transgenic animals increase the genetic diversity of a population.


Is it possible to combine human and animal DNA?

Yes, it is possible to combine human DNA with animal DNA through genetic engineering techniques like gene editing or transgenesis. This process can result in organisms that have traits or characteristics from both species, but there are ethical and safety concerns surrounding this type of research.

What are some important processes involved in genetic engineering?

Transgenesis, which is the process of replicating DNA from one organism and inserting it into the DNA of another, creating what is called recombinant DNA


What is the human need or demand for transgenesis?

The use of trangenesis for human demand is to express a desirable trait in crops or livestock- this is done using the same restriction enzymes and ligation (techniques) for example-In crops; specific genes can be added to increase the yield or improve the nutritional value. Strawberries can be inserted with an anti freeze gene isolated from fish, in order to be frost resistant and thus be more suceessfully grown Similarily, tomatoes can be genetically modified to having increased shelve life through delayed softening or be resistant to some pests.

How transgenesis can be done using nanoparticles?

Donor DNA is coated on to gold nanoparticles andaccelerated at high speed toward a culture of recipient cells (ballistic method of gene transfer). Some cells will be transformed. These transformed cells are grown further. They are transgenic in nature since a foreign gene was inserted into the genome by the method described above


How does the process of making transgenic organisms differ from crossbreeding?

Transgenesis is much like gene therapy in that both transform cells for a specific purpose. (4)However, gene therapy targets only certain cells in order to cure a defect in them, transgenesis seeks to produce an entirely modified organism by incorporating the transgene into all the cells of the mature organism and changing the genomes.

What can replace a gene in an animal's genome?

A new gene can be inserted into an animal's genome through genetic engineering techniques, such as gene editing or transgenesis. These techniques can replace a faulty gene with a functional one, or introduce a completely new gene into the genome. Additionally, gene therapy can be used to deliver therapeutic genes into an animal's cells to treat genetic disorders.


How did African slaves get education?

They got their education by secretly learning it if their master didn't allowed because it was illegal. Sometimes, their masters tought the slave even though it was against the law. By secretly learning it, they could learn it off another slave or steal a book and educate themselves.


What are some disadvantages for genetically engineered animals?

Disadvantages of transgenic animals for humans include transgenesis not being good for the animals, altering of an animal's cells is not ethical, and the scientists that create transgenic animals have no way of knowing what the outcome will be. Adverse reactions are common and usually unexpected.
