Illustrator has some sort of "scissors" and "glue" like those used in genetic engineering?

Illustrator has some sort of "scissors" and "glue" like those used in genetic engineering, but for the railways?

I believe the term is "recombined DNA.

Background info: I develop an Acrobat plugin that will implement the copy half a facility 'copy & paste '. Not that this is important, but the dough half will be interpreted by a SolidWorks Addin.

Internally, Illustrator and Acrobat can have 2 completely different games paths that appear nevertheless identical. Let's see is worth 1,000 words:

The drawing shows 8 distinct paths, unique which will be displayed as the typical rounded rectangle:

This is what the user sees: he or she has no idea about the Internals:

Question: Is it possible to take the last form (1, 8-element, narrow path) and using a kind of 'scissors', convert it to 8 paths of 1 segment of each? What about the opposite? The ability to 'stick' the elements, which makes them a part of the same way?

TIA

The current versions of Illustrator can cut anchor selected (many) points (see the scissors button in the control panel) as well as some segments/inking of join (multiple) selected (see object > path > Join).

There are other ways as well.
