Solution

The correct option is B
The steps in rDNA technology are as follows:
Step 1 - The desired gene, that is the ‘gene of interest’ is identified and isolated.
Step 2 - Multiple copies of the ‘gene of interest’ are made using techniques such as Polymerase Chain reaction.
Step 3 - Gene of interest is inserted into a delivery vehicle which will insert it into a host.
Step 4 - Gene of interest is delivered into a host living organism so that it can replicate and translate the protein of choice.
Step 5 - Screening to identify the organism that has received the rDNA.
Step 6 - Cloning of the organism containing the rDNA and extraction of the desired protein.
