Question

What are the tools of DNA technology?

Answer 1

DNA technology:

1. The sequencing, analysis, and cutting of DNA are called DNA technology.
2. These molecules are used to produce combinations of genetics.

Tools of DNA technology:

1. The restriction enzyme: These are endonucleases that help cleave a DNA molecule and are crucial in creating plasmids.
2. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR): It is crucial for the amplification of a gene sequence and thus can be used for screening specific DNA of interest.
3. Vectors: These are chromosomes that are used as vehicles for transferring DNA from a host organism to another organism to form hybrids.
4. Ligases: These are used for joining two DNA segments.
5. Polymerase enzymes: It is used for the synthesis and polymerization of DNA and RNA molecules.
6. Host Organism: This is the organism from which the gene of interest is taken and used for a variety of purposes.
