Question
What is meant by gene cloning?
Advertisements
Solution
Gene cloning refers to a process in which a gene of interest is ligated to a vector. The recombinant DNA thus produced is introduced into a host cell by transformation. Each cell gets one DNA molecule and when the transformed cell grows into a bacterial colony, each cell in the colony has a copy of the gene. This is precisely gene cloning.
