Question

Cloning is a process, where

• A. gene is cloned in an animal
• B. fragments of DNA are transferred from one organism to another, usually carried on a DNA vector
• C. fragments of DNA cloned in the same organism using carrier
• D. DNA is cloned in plants

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

The process of producing a clone is called cloning. The entire procedure of gene cloning or recombinant DNA technology includes following five steps?
(i) Production and isolation of the DNA fragments to be cloned.
(ii) Insertion of the isolated gene in a suitable vector to obtain recombinant DNA.
(iii) Introduction of the recombinant DNA into a suitable organism (transformation).
(iv) dentification of the clone containing the derived gene.
(v) Multiplication of the introduced gene in the host.
