What is used to insert new genes into plant cells?
Several factors play into introducing new genes into a cell. Plasmids act as a vector to introduce new genes into a cell.
Does bacteria reproduce by injection their genes into other cells?
no
What is the role of cosmids in recombinent DNA technology?
Cosmids allow you to insert DNA sequences (genes) into the genome of a bacteria, much like a plasmid. Cosmids in recombinant DNA technology, however, utilize phage (bacterial viruses) to enable researchers to insert DNA sequences of genes with up to 44,000 base pairs, while normal plasmids are only able to efficiently carry 10,000 base pairs. This allows researchers to insert more complex genes into bacteria as well as increases the efficiency with which researchers can make genomic libraries of more complex organisms.
Who studies genes and hereditary characteristics?
Geneticists are scientists who specialize in the study of genes and hereditary characteristics, including how traits are passed down from one generation to the next. They explore the molecular mechanisms of inheritance, genetic variation, and the role of genes in health and disease.
What are nif and nod genes?
Nif and nod genes are involved in nitrogen fixation by certain bacteria. Nif genes are responsible for encoding proteins involved in the nitrogen fixation process, while nod genes are involved in nodulation, which is the formation of specialized structures on plant roots where nitrogen-fixing bacteria reside. These genes play essential roles in the symbiotic relationship between plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
Viruses frequently infect bacteria and insert new genes into the genetic material of the bacteria When these infected bacteria reproduce asexually which genes would most likely be passed on?
The genes that are inserted by the virus into the bacteria's genetic material would most likely be passed on during asexual reproduction. This can lead to the spread of the viral genes to the bacteria's offspring.
How have scientists made bacteria more useful today?
Scientists have taken restriction enzymes out of bacteria; restriction enzymes are used to cut DNA at cut sites. Also, they insert genes into bacteria to study them.
What are genes How do they differ from bacteria?
some genes are skinny some are boot cut but bacteria are bacteria
What is used to insert new genes into plant cells?
Several factors play into introducing new genes into a cell. Plasmids act as a vector to introduce new genes into a cell.
The use of genetic engineering to transfer human genes into bacteria?
This results in bacteria expressing human proteins or genes.
What have scientists discovered about simple genes like bacteria?
Bacteria are living organisms not genes, your question does not make sense.
How does DNA technology transfer bacteria genes from cell to cell?
DNA technology will transfer bacteria genes from cell to cell.
Most cells except bacteria are?
genes
What are the steps in a direct-sequencing experiment?
Lyse cells, purify DNA, amplify genes by PCR, and insert genes into plasmid
How might viruses acutally help to cure genetic diseases?
A special type of virus, called a "retrovirus", can insert genes into someone's DNA. It could conceivably insert healthy genes to repair the mutations.

In bacteria genes occur as?
unbroken stretches of proteins.
