Question

what is gene cloning? what r the types of gene cloning.

Answer 1

Gene cloning is an artificial process of producing exact copies of a particular gene using genetic engineering techniques.

There are two types of gene cloning:

1. In vivo gene cloning : In this type the copies of genes are produced inside a host cell using restriction endonuclease and ligase enzymes.

2. In vitro gene cloning : In this type the copies of genes are produced in a reaction tube using the polymerase chain reaction.
