Scientists are able to manipulate dna within the cells of plants, animals, and other organisms to ensure that certain advantageous traits will appear and be passed on, or that certain harmful traits are eliminated. what is the term for this process?

The term for the process is called genetic engineering.

Explanation:

Genetic engineering is a process by which a gene containing the desired characteristics is integrated with a vector resulting in the formation of chimeric DNA molecule or recombinant DNA molecule.The recombinant DNA molecule is then incorporated inside a suitable host.

       The chimeric DNA then undergo gene expression inside the host resulting in the generation of desired protein.

      Genetic engineering can also be used to eliminate harmful traits by mutating the specific portion of the target gene that is responsible for the generation of harmful traits.

The term of the process is called genetic engineering.

Explanation:

The genetic engineering is the field of engineering; it is study of process of modifying the organisms of a genetic level. The example of genetic engineering is to inserting or modifying a gene into a organism. Its is also called as recombination DNA technology.

It involves the group of techniques used to cut the pieces or to join together using molecular scissors .the genetic engineering had the special potential to cure the genetic disease through gene therapy. It is widely used in field of agriculture, technology, scientific research.

true, i don't really know what you're asking but from the info you provided im guessing the answer is true.

transcription is a process in which information is rewritten. it is something our cells must do, in a more specialized and narrowly defined way. in biology, transcription is the process of copying out the dna sequence of a gene in the similar alphabet of rna. it needs to happen in the nucleus because that's where the dna is. dna is always inside the nucleus unless the cell is dividing.

transcription is the first step in gene expression, which involves copying a gene's dna sequence to make an rna molecule. transcription is performed by rna polymerases. it has three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. rna molecules must be processed after transcription in eukaryotes.

explanation:

long version:

the protein synthesis consists two processes which are, transcription and translation. transcription takes place in the nucleus. it uses dna as a template to make an rna molecule. rna then leaves the nucleus and goes to a ribosome in the cytoplasm, where translation occurs. transcription is the first part of the central dogma of molecular biology: dna → rna. it is the transfer of genetic instructions in dna to messenger rna (mrna). during transcription, a strand of mrna is made that is complementary to a strand of dna.  

these three stages are:

  initiation: in which   is the beginning of transcription.occuring when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

    elongation: in which is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

    termination: in which is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.
