Modern Applications of Microbial Genetics
Biotechology is the science of utilizing living systems to benefit humankind.
Practice this chapterBiotechology is the science of utilizing living systems to benefit humankind. In recent years, the ability to directly alter an organism’s genome through genetic engineering has been made possible due to advances in recombinant DNA technology, which allows researchers to create recombinant DNA…
Molecular cloning involves methods used to construct recombinant DNA and facilitate their replication in host organisms. These methods include the use of restriction enzymes (to cut both foreign DNA and plasmid vectors) , ligation (to paste fragments of DNA together), and the introduction of recombinant DNA into a host organism (often…
Be able to identify tools of molecular genetics that are derived from microorganisms; describe the methods used to create recombinant DNA molecules; describe methods used to introduce DNA into prokaryotic cells.
