Concept explainers
To explain: What is DNA cloning.
Concept introduction: Genetic engineering is the introduction of foreign DNA into host genome. It is also employed to produce organism of desirable properties and economic products in large quantity. Genetic engineering can be used to produce recombinant DNA molecule that contains foreign DNA sequence from multiple sources. A recombinant DNA molecule (such as plasmid containing foreign DNA insert) can be grown in culture condition.
To explain: How a jellyfish GFP gene might be cloned into a bacterial cell.
