Question

Match the following
$\begin{array}{cc}ColumnI& ColumnII\\ \text{P. Gene cloning}& \text{i. DNA from multiple sources.}\\ \text{Q. Recombinant DNA}& \text{ii. Copies of gene of interest.}\\ \text{R. Genetic engineering}& \text{iii. Vegetative propagation.}\\ \text{S. Clones}& \text{iv. Techniques used to modify the genome of an organism.}\end{array}$

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Gene cloning is the process in which exact copies of a gene of interest are made. Recombinant DNA is formed by bringing together genetic material from multiple sources by techniques used in genetic engineering. Genetic engineering involves a range of techniques used to alter the genomes of organisms by transferring genes within and across species. Cloning is the process of producing genetically identical individuals. Vegetative propagation produces clones of the mother plant.
