Question

In genetic engineering how is genetic material obtained?

Answer 1

Genetic material is obtained by the following:

1. Genetic engineering, often known as genetic alteration, is a technique that modifies an organism's DNA using technology developed in labs. This might entail altering a single base pair (A-T or C-G), erasing a section of DNA, or incorporating new DNA.
2. In genetic engineering, genetic material is obtained by synthesis, gene cleavage by donor cells, and rRNA using reverse transcriptase.
3. Genetic material: realizing that DNA and RNA make up all living things' genetic makeup led to the development of molecular genetics. The bases adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C) make up the nucleotides that makeup DNA, which is found in the cell nucleus.
4. Bacteria have genetic information that is stored in big circular DNA the small circular DNA fragments contain several genes these are called plasmids. Plasmids are generally used in genetic engineering for the development of desired genes.
5. Some special enzymes are used for cutting the DNA molecule. Enzymes like restriction endonucleases and ligases.
6. Restriction endonucleases are used to cut the DNA molecule at a specific site, to get the desired gene, or to seal it with another gene Ligases are enzymes that are used to seal DNA molecules or fragments. These enzymes are used for DNA elongation or DNA region removal.
