hi,
I am doing an experiment and I am gathering my DNA and A tomatoes DNA to make a GMO plant I just wanted to know how I can mix DNA together and make it even. because us humans share 60% of tomato DNA so I divided that by 2 and got 30. I need it to be even otherwise it wont work I need detailed instruction otherwise I will not understand. ( also is there any other option I can use beside a gene gun to inject my plant )

Re: How to Mix DNA Together
Hello!
This is an interesting question. What are you trying to accomplish with your project? If I'm understanding correctly, it sounds like you're trying to add human DNA to a plant. The problem is, if you add human DNA to a plant, it won't work in the plant because plants can't recognize and read human genes. Human DNA also doesn't have the genes that plant cells need to survive, so a hybrid human/plant cell would die. This article does a good job of explaining why human DNA won't work in a plant: https://www.thetech.org/ask-a-geneticist/ask382
