Which steps are involved in genetic engineering? |
|
Answer» Genetic engineering process has several steps: (i) Gene isolation: The desired is cut with restriction enzymes and joined by ligases to host DNA. (ii) Synthesis of gene: The nucleotides are synthesized chemically. (iii) Transformation: The DNA is incorporated into genome of a cell. (iv) Taunsduction: The DNA is carried from a donor bacterium to a recipient bacterium with the help of bacteriophages. It results in changing the recipient's genotype. (v) Gene cloning: It is a technique for producing new combination of genetic material in bacterial cells. The DNA is inserted in the vector, where it produces copies of itself. |
