Interpretation: The methods used in recombinant DNA technology are to be explained.
Concept introduction: Recombinant DNA is a hybrid strand of the DNA molecule. The combination of two or more genetic sequences results in the production of recombinant DNA.
Answer to Problem 32LC
Recombinant DNA technology involves methods for cleaving the original DNA chain, inserting other pieces of DNA into the gap, and resealing the chain to join the two different DNAs.
Explanation of Solution
Through the use of recombinant DNAs, it is possible to get desirable properties in live organisms that were previously lacking. This is used in the fields of agriculture, research, and medicine.
Genetic recombination is carried out in the laboratory to create recombinant DNA. This procedure involves methods for cleaving the original DNA chain, then inserting another piece of DNA in the gap left by the cleavage, and finally resealing the chain again. This combines the two different strands of DNA.
