There is transduction- when a virus [called a phage] infects one bacteria and part of the bacteria's DNA is incorporated into the virus's DNA. Later, the virus infects another bacteria and transfers the DNA.
transformation- when a bacteria picks up loose DNA from the environment and incorporates it into its own genome.
conjugation- when one bacteria transfers DNA to another (sort of like bacteria sex

What does genetic engineering mean in biology?
Scientific alteration of the structure of genetic material in a living organism. It involves the production and use of recombinant DNA and has been employed to create bacteria that synthesize insulin and other human proteins.
What organisms carry recombinant DNA in their genomes?
Organisms like bacteria, plants, and animals that have been genetically modified by incorporating recombinant DNA into their genomes can carry this modified genetic material. This allows them to exhibit new traits or characteristics that have been introduced through the genetic engineering process.
What are bacterias used for medical use?
The importance of bacteria in medicine is to help create vaccines and treatments for bacteria infections. By studying how they function, scientists and doctors are able to quickly combat and defeat them.
Changing the DNA of an organism is called?
Changing the DNA of an organism is called genetic engineering. The organism that results is called a genetically engineered organism. The use of this method is so widespread that it has been given its own category - recombinant DNA technology (a branch of molecular biology)
This is an artificial genetic sequence from combining two other sequences in a plasmid?
That sounds like a recombinant DNA molecule, where two different genetic sequences have been combined and inserted into a plasmid. This technique allows for the creation of new genetic constructs with desired traits or functions. It is commonly used in genetic engineering and biotechnology for a variety of applications.
What is a substance that scientists can produce through genetic engineering?
Insylin has been produced through genetic engineering.
Is corn without genetic modification better for you?
Most corn has been genetically modified, if only by centuries of plant selection. Of more concern is whether it has been subject to trans genetic engineering. For example does it contain genes of the three toed newt?? Or whatever. DON'T let them confuse you between genetic modification and trans genetic engineering.
What are three foods that can be genetically modified?
Any food can be genetically modified through genetic engineering. Three foods that have been genetically engineered are corn, soy, and canola.
What are the benefit to humans brought about by genetic engineering?
The ability to defy gravity is one ability that has not been brought about by genetic engineering. There are many others. Free chocolate for everyone is another.interferon
Why did genitic engineering begin?
Genetic engineering has been around for a long time, such as selective breeding of animal stocks, but the purposeful tweaking of DNA has only been around since the 1970s. For animal breeding, breeders chose the features they most liked in the animal and bred those that exhibited these features. For the more modern version, genetic engineering was started for various reasons. Genetic engineering found a way to produce artificial insulin, produced by bacteria, in order to meet the requirements of growing numbers of diabetics. Crops were engineered to withstand pesticides and herbicides so that farmers could spray the crops to kill the insects and weeds without damaging their plants.
What has genetic engineering not been able to do?
Clone a human from a single cell of an adult human.
Without genetic engineering horses would have been domesticated?
Horses were domesticated long before the concept of genetic engineering was even selective breeding.

What organisms carry recombinant DNA in their genomes?
Organisms like bacteria, plants, and animals that have been genetically modified by incorporating recombinant DNA into their genomes can carry this modified genetic material. This allows them to exhibit new traits or characteristics that have been introduced through the genetic engineering process.
Describe how genetic engineering is used in agriculture?
Genetic engineering techniques have been applied in numerous fields including agriculture. One of the best-known applications of genetic engineering in agriculture is genetically modified organisms.
Who is paying for genetic engineering?
When it's done in a lab? In an academic lab it's the funding body (usually a charity or a wing of government). In industry that it would be the company itself. When it's done naturally? The parents, who end up with identical twins instead of a single baby.
What are bacterias used for medical use?
The importance of bacteria in medicine is to help create vaccines and treatments for bacteria infections. By studying how they function, scientists and doctors are able to quickly combat and defeat them.
