What are some uses of genetic engineering?
With genetic engineering you could create cures for certain diseases or even a healthier population that is not susceptible to diseases. You might also be able to change the world's food supply by designing food that is pest and drought resistant.
What are the steps of using recombinant DNA technology?
1 Isolate DNA
2 Cut DNA with a restriction enzyme
3 Mix the DNA's and join then together by using DNA ligase
4 Insert the recombinant plasmid into a host bacterium
5 Allow the bacterium to reproduce
- Human cells,from the individual who will be cloned.
- Media in which these human cells will grow and divide.
(breeding oven)
- Media in which cells will stop dividing, and enter a state
of "quiescence" without dying.(freezer)
- Laboratory supplies: Incubator, Sterile Hood, petri dishes,
microscopes, and tools capable of removing and implanting
cellular organelles,from one cell to another.
- Unfertilized human egg cells.
- Media in which the fertilized eggs can grow and
step 2Commence cloning!This first step is easy: You only need to grow the cells until you have the amount you want.The second step isn't hard either: Transfer the cells to the freezer. This should allow the cells to live, but they should stop dividing and enter quiescence.
The third step is a hard one for the unexperienced cloner: When the cultured cells are in the quiescent state, get an unfertilized human egg cell. Remove the nucleus from this egg cell. Try to minimize damage done to this cell and discard the nucleus, because this has become useless now.
The forth step is a rather difficult one too:
Take one of the quiescent cells in it's entirely, and implant it inside the coat around the egg (known as the zona pellucida, if you really want to know) next to the egg itself.
The fifth step isn't as hard as step 3 or 4: Electroshock the egg. The electroshock induces the fusion of the two cells, so you should be able to tell when you've electroshocked enough just by looking at the cells.
The sixth (and last)step: Repeat the last three steps as necessary until you have enough clones. Expect a lot of them not to survive because of cellular damage and other mishaps. Allow the embryos to grow and divide a few times in Human Egg Cell growth media. Now implant the embryos in human mothers where they can be carried to term, and born normally. After a few months (approximately 9) you have your own child :) divide
step 3Legal stuffCloning is illegal in the following countries:*USA
*UK
*All of the European Union
*Australia
*the UN is against cloning, but doesn't force their members to
abolish it
...
So it is not allowed to make a real clone (which renders this Instructable useless XD).
When you really want a child, I suggest you find yourself a wife/man and do it the traditional way (which I personally find to be more fun:P)
This instructable is made for entertainment only, please don't try this at home.
What is t a c g c c g t g g t t c g a t c?
t a c g c c g t g g t t c g a t c is an example of a DNA code. inside each cell in your body there is a doublr helix of DNA Each small circle is one of four componets adenine (represented by A), guanine (represented by G), cytosine (represented by C) and thymine (represented by T). These are writted together to represent DNA
When was the first plant cell discovered?
It was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1678 that cork, when sliced into a small piece and put under a microscope that their where little box-like compartments which are now known as "cells" Robert Hooke opened a whole field of science for the rest of mankind.
How and why does cloning of plants differ from cloning of animals?
vegatation reproduction dont produce clones man. im not lying no joke mate lol. seriously why would you think im lying
A behavioral geneticist would design research studies to determine?
the degree to which genes and environment interact to shape behavior.
What are unicellular ascomycota important in food production and genetic engineering?
Simple yeasts is the unicellular ascomycota that is important in food production and genetic engineering.
When was therapy for autism invented?
It depends on what therapy you mean. Some effective therapies include speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy and applied behavior analysis.
In the 1800s, the first special education programs were started. These weren't specifically aimed at autism (since autism wasn't identified as a distinct diagnosis), but certainly included some autistic students. Victor, the Wild Boy of Aveyron, who some historians suspect was actually an abandoned autistic child, received extensive education from Itard, one of the early names in special education.
Speech therapy can help a child learn to use language effectively. Some children remain nonverbal but are able to learn to use sign language or picture exchange communication. Some nonverbal adults speak with communication devices. The first book on speech disorder was written in 1882 by Samual Potter, and included several recommendations for treatment of various conditions.
Occupational therapy has apparently been around since the 1700s. Today, it is used for autism to help with the patient's fine motor control, the ability to control the physiologic movements of the body. This helps with an autistic person's self stimulatory behaviors and sensory seeking behaviors, and can also strengthen some of the muscles used when implementing precise tasks such as, say, properly holding a pen.
Physical therapy has been around about as long as medicine. It is used when a patient suffers an injury, but can be used to help an autistic person with what is referred to as gross motor control, the larger, more basic movements of the body, like walking. Some people with autism may have poor muscle tone or other motor problems. Physical therapy can help them with this.
Applied behavioral analysis evolved from research by individuals such as John B Watson and BF Skinner during the early 1900s. In the 1960s, Lovaas began using ABA in the treatment of autism, claiming in a landmark study that 47% of children treated with ABA were 'indinstinguishable from their peers'. This finding has never been replicated, but ABA has been shown to be a highly effective educational technique for autism. The basis for this therapy is the concept that systematic reinforcement of desired behaviors will make them more frequent.
Only in recent years have any of the above therapies been considered medically necessary and been therefore covered by medical insurance. Some insurance plans do not cover any autism therapies what-so-ever. Some plans will not cover therapies they deem to be educational, like occupational, physical and speech therapies, which all involve "learning" to do things differently. But all of the above have been shown to be effective.
There is also controversy regarding ethical concerns of autism treatment. While no one can argue that it's not a good thing to help a child gain important skills, many autistic self-advocates argue that therapies aimed at changing autistic behavior such as avoidance of eye contact and hand-flapping are unethical, since this behavior serves a purpose for the child and is not harmful to themselves or others. They contend that rather than seeking to teach an autistic child to behave normally, therapies should focus on helping the child function well in their own autistic way.
Which organelle contains all of your DNA or your entire genetic make-up?
The nucleus.
Mitochondria also contain DNA, but not your whole genome. Your mitochondrial DNA comes only from your mother.
Genetics is important because it plays a key role in determining an individual’s physical traits, susceptibility to diseases, and response to treatments. Understanding genetics helps in predicting and preventing genetic disorders, as well as in developing personalized medicine for individuals based on their genetic makeup. It also aids in the study of evolution, population genetics, and the inheritance of traits across generations.
How does species differ in their gentic code?
Not too much. Actually the genes are quite similar between human and other species. For example, there are 99.9% similarity between human being and ape. For human and pig this number should be around 99%.

What is the definition of medicine?
The science of health matinence and the prevention of desease
Ans 2 The art of restoring and preserving health.
A bio-tech crop simply means the crop has had its genetic code artificially altered for some purpose. Usually, this genetic engineering is intended to make the crop easier to grow in more hostile conditions, or to provide nutrients it would not otherwise provide in its natural, unengineered state. A number of domesticated crops have been genetically altered over the years including rice, corn, wheat and soybeans.
Although genetically engineering plants is a relatively new science, the age old art of plant domestication itself is a form of genetic manipulation, albeit a slow one. Whenever the first farmers began to selectively raise different plants based on their phylogeny (physical expression of an organism's genetic code) in order to increase their productivity, hardiness or flavor, what they were doing, in effect, was altering their genology (genetic coding) in the process. So, in a sense, all domesticated crops (and animals) can be classified as genetically engineered "bio-tech".
There is a debate across the globe as to whether intentionally altering a plant's genetic code, particularly to produce something natural selection never could, is a good thing or a bad thing. Opponents claim that if such crops were to be released into the world, they might quickly eliminate their non-bio-tech relatives, possibly causing the extinction of a necessary global resource and leading to widespread famine and social instability. Propnents of genetically engineered bio-tech crops, on the other hand, discount the danger posed by these products, claiming humanity has been doing this for centuries without any harm.
Only time will tell which of these positions is correct.
What is the macromolecule that contains genetic material?
Nucleic acids. Which are made of nucleotides.
Nucleotides make up DNA... Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine. These nucleotides are what make up the double helix of DNA. Adenine bonds with Thymine and Cytosine bonds with Guanine. Sugars and phosphates also make up DNA.
Explain what is meant by cds in bioinformatics term?
CDS means "coding sequence," i.e. the part of the gene that codes for a protein.
Bioinformatics studies computational algorithms and mathematical models that help identify regions in the genome that are likely to be CDS's.

What two types of molecules make up a chromosome and which type holds the genetic information?
Histones and DNA. DNA holds the genetic information. Histones are simply proteins which help organize DNA and compress it. DNA wraps around "bead-like" histones to make "beads on a string"
What is the genetic disorder that causes excessive hair growth?
Hypertrichosis very rare disorder also called werewolf syndrome.
What are the non-genetic causes of microcephaly?
Other possible causes of microcephaly include infections during pregnancy (rubella, cytomegalovirus, toxoplasmosis), adverse effects of medication, and the excessive use of alcohol by the mother during pregnancy
