You can leave the chicks with the mother but it will only last 4 to 8 weeks. Usually, it's the mother hen who wants to wean them and get back to her flock. In warm weather, you don't really need a heat lamp, but get a secure pen and chick starter until they're 20 weeks old.
The process of putting a gene into a vector is called molecular cloning or gene cloning. Most vectors are based on plasmids, which are small circular sequences of DNA that occur naturally within bacteria. Plasmid vectors can accept a few genesâ worth of DNA.o introduce foreign DNA into a circular vector, scientists carry out a three-step process: 1  Cutting out the gene. 2  Scientists first remove their gene of interest from the DNA sequences on either side of it.
The first step is the extraction of DNA from the organism known to have the trait of interest. The second step is gene cloning, which will isolate the gene of interest from the entire extracted DNA, followed by mass-production of the cloned gene in a host cell.he term genetic engineering is used to describe the process by which the genetic makeup of an organism can be altered using â recombinant DNA technology .â This involves the use of laboratory tools to insert, alter, or cut out pieces of DNA that contain one or more genes of interest.
