The subject you are talking about is probably genetic engineering. If you are able to take a gene from one organism and place it in another then you changed the DNA structure, which most likely can kill the plant, by possibly even creating a cancerous cell. But if the gene is transgenic enough the organism is a transgenic plant or animal.

What is the process by which bacteria take piece's of DNA from their environment?

Conjugation Transformation Transduction (A bacterial cell takes up DNA from its environment One bacterium transfers DNA to another bacterium to which it's physically connected A virus moves DNA from one bacterial cell to another)


What is an agent that is used to carry a DNA fragment isolated from one cell into another cell?

cloning vector


What is a molecule that consists of a piece of DNA from one organism combined with the DNA from a member of another species?

A molecule that consists of a piece of DNA from one organism combined with the DNA from a member of another species is known as a recombinant DNA molecule. This molecule is typically created using techniques like genetic engineering to insert specific genes from one organism into another.


Why would it be advantageous to the cell to have it's DNA molecules tightly condensed into nucleosomes during mitosis?

If you stretch out the DNA molecule form its one end to another, it will be close to 2m long. Therefore before a cell can divide into two during mitosis it is essential that the DNA is tightly and orderly compacted in the nucleus of the parent cell. Proper organization of the DNA is important for transmitting the genetic information of an organism from one cell to another.


What is the process in which DNA from one type of cell causes an inheritable change in a second type of cell?

This process is called horizontal gene transfer. It can occur through mechanisms such as transformation (uptake of naked DNA), transduction (DNA transfer by viruses), or conjugation (direct cell-to-cell contact for DNA transfer), allowing genetic material from one cell to be incorporated into the genome of another cell.

In the process of cloning what is the main substance transferred from one cell to another?

In the process of cloning, the main substance transferred from one cell to another is the nucleus. The nucleus contains the genetic material, including the DNA, which is necessary to instruct the cell on how to function and develop. By transferring the nucleus, all the genetic information from the donor cell is passed on to the recipient cell, allowing for replication of the donor cell.
