what does geneticist do?
340134
I know a man who is a geneticist.  He is a professor at a well-known college.  He studies plants in his home, although I don't know specifically what his experiments involve.  He has several types of bromeliads growing in his home, he has a small greenhouse, also.  It's gorgeous in his home with all the lush plants and nearly perfect man-provided growing conditions.  \n\nHe also breeds dauchshunds and shows them around the country.  He has had some champions.\n\nHe has written papers that appear in journals and magazines.\n\nWikipedia says:\n"A geneticist is a scientist who studies genes, or a physician who diagnoses, treats, and counsels patients with genetic disorders or syndromes. These doctors are typically trained in a genetics residency or fellowship. Many are pediatricians, but some are not."

There have been hundreds of thousands of such experiments done. Moreover you can easily do them yourself using some nutriemt agar and an incubator with a few hundred dollars to pay someone to do the genetic workup.\n\ntalk.origins is your one stop shop for these types of quetsions. The site is highly reputable, well refernces, cites peer reveiewed science journals and most importantly lists literally hundreds of experimenst that show exactly what you describe.\n\nI've attached a couple link to pages that list a dozenor so such mutation studies, but the site has many hundreds of others.

In the strictest sense, genetic engineering refers to intentional manipulation of genetic material.  Therefore, if you are a creationist (meaning you believe we were CREATED BY A GOD), then we absolutely are.  However, if you are an evolutionist (meaning you belive that that life started and changes according to environmental niches and their changes and opportunities) then we are NOT.\n\nThere is, however, and intersting note here.  If you more loosely define genetic engineering as the selecting of traits to pass onto the next generation, then ABSOLUTELY, we are.  We all pick partners based on traits we find to be desirable, and as such wish to have passed on.  These do, however, vary somewhat from culture to culture.

Most of them involve genetic "splicing," which involves removing a particular set of genes and splicing in a different set.  The purpose is to eliminate a particular disease, or make the plant/animal resistant, or to give a particular characteristic.

genetic drift actually refers to the tendancy for weaker alleles to disappear naturally over time.\n\nSelective breeding and eugenics are purposely removing (or preventing the succession) of those alleles in the population

The question is too general.  It depends on what type of gene you are asking about.  For gene related to human diseases, one most likely will need to study patient population with the disease and consider are the gene(s) playing equal role in different patients.  Human diseases often involve many genes and they are likely involved in a common pathway for example.  Defect in any component of a pathway may generate the same disease phenotype.  \n\nIf there is a great animal model for the human disease, investigators will likely use the model to determine disease gene.  However, very often the gene affected in animals is not exactly the same that causes problem in human.  \n\nIf, however, you mean gene of interest in a bacteria, the ball game is quite different.  It is much more easy to work with simple organism.  One can isolate mutants affecting the gene of interest.

Heredity is the transmission of genetic information from parent to offspring. Genetics is the study of heredity.

Your genome is your genetical makeup.  Your genes tell your body what to do most of the time.  Genes are responsbile for telling the body how to do things.  They are like the blue print to your body.

genes, are made up of coded information. It is these codes or mutations of code that contain information that determine your characteristics.

Sure, \ntry www.genetic-programming.com It's Dr Koza's page.... you'll need some time to find the information.

Do you like mathematics?\n\nI ask this because Modern Genetics is all about statistics, number crunching and adding up variables.\nExpect a lot of work in a computer laboratory with a spreadsheet open and you entering data that you collected in a  lab.\n\nHowever... my studies in genetics was highly interesesting... ignore the fact that i am a natural at mathematics.\n\nPlease dont enter a subject just because it pays well... the reality is that if you dont like it you will regret it later on... no matter what the salary.

Medical Therapy.\n1- Cells can be engineered to produce a pathogen's surface protein, which can be used as a subunit vaccine. \n\n2-Synthetic genes linked to the β-galactosidase gene in a plasmid vector were inserted into E. coli, allowing E. coli to produce and secrete the two polypeptides used to make human insulin. \n\n3-DNA probes can be used as rapid diagnostics to identify a pathogen quickly in body tissue or food. \n\n4-Genetic screening uses Southern blotting to look for mutations responsible for inherited disease in humans.\n\nAny Help?

He is the "father of genetics". He was a monk who used pea plants to do genetic crosses and look at the heritability of traits.

Something to do w/ genetics............\n\n-Mr. Happy-\n:o)

Genes are nothing but biological codes which determine the characters and species of organisms, each species of organism have different genes in them so making a list of genes will give us the knowledge of species in earth, and the place this klnowled is stored is called Gene bank

the process would be mutation of the genes
