What is an example of a transgenic tobacco?
Example of a transgenic tobacco plant is the insect resistant variety. A gene from Bacillus thuringiensis which is lethal to many pests is introduced into the plant genome to impart resistance to many insect pests.
Where is the first place scientists look to insert a new gene?
Scientists often look to insert a new gene into a vector, such as a plasmid or a viral vector. Vectors are vehicles that can deliver the gene into a host organism's cells for expression and study.
A scientist wants to insert new gene into a bacterium what is the first step in this process?
cutting the gene out of the DNA with enzymes
Is it possible to add a gene to an organism?
Yes, although it hasn't been observed in nature. Scientists have been able to artificially insert a gene into a bacteria using sticky ends of the plasmids and DNA ligase to hold them together, thereby inserting a gene into the bacterial chromosome.
When Mendel crossed a pure breeding tall pea plant with a pure breeding short pea plant all of the resulting plants were tall In this case the tall gene was and the short gene was?
This means that the tall pea plant had a double dominant height gene (each gene has 2 parts, one from each "parent"). The short pea plant had a double recessive gene making it short. When the two plants bread, the dominant gene always is the one that shows up, so the plant was tall.
Bt corn is a genetically modified crop that contains a gene from another species Which characteristic does this gene give the plant?
The gene inserted into Bt corn is from a bacterium called Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) which produces a protein toxic to insect pests. This gene helps the plant generate a toxin that targets specific insects such as corn borers.
Can you make plants to emit light?
yes. if somehow we isolate light emitting gene also called "lux" gene and insert it into plant genome and if the gene get expressed the plant is certainly going to emit light.
Many farmers now grow insect-resistant varieties of cotton. The gene for the favorable trait in this case insect resistance is transferred to the cotton's DNA using?
A common method used to transfer the gene for insect resistance is through genetic engineering techniques like biotechnology. This involves isolating the gene responsible for insect resistance from a different source, such as a bacteria, and inserting it into the cotton plant's DNA. This modification helps the cotton plant produce proteins that are toxic to certain insects, providing protection against pests.
Can a gene taken from plant cell be introduced in to animal cell?
Theoretically, such a gene transfer is possible. However, there is no guarantee that the inserted gene will still be able to function normally. There may be some issues with gene expression. In addition, a project like this where there is a gene transfer from the plant to the animal system will not be approved unless there is a strong economic motive.
How do you insert prokayotic gene into eukaryote?
With a virus.
What is an example of a transgenic tobacco?
Example of a transgenic tobacco plant is the insect resistant variety. A gene from Bacillus thuringiensis which is lethal to many pests is introduced into the plant genome to impart resistance to many insect pests.
The goal of gene therapy is to insert a?
A normal allele
What is an AADL Arabidopsis?
It is an arabidopsis plant with the AADL protein "turned off." Scientists insert a nucleotide into the gene sequence which stops the AADL gene from being able to function. The AADL gene tells a ribosome to make the AADL protein. With it being turned off, the AADL protein never gets made.
Where is the first place scientists look to insert a new gene?
Scientists often look to insert a new gene into a vector, such as a plasmid or a viral vector. Vectors are vehicles that can deliver the gene into a host organism's cells for expression and study.
How can one effectively insert a gene into a plasmid?
To effectively insert a gene into a plasmid, one can use restriction enzymes to cut both the gene and the plasmid at specific sites. The cut gene can then be inserted into the plasmid, and DNA ligase can be used to seal the pieces together. This process is known as molecular cloning.
