The procedure for introducing mutations into specific genes is called as
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Gene targeting
Gene targeting is a genetic technique that uses homologous recombination to change an endogenous gene. The method can be used to delete a gene, remove exons, add a gene and introduce point mutations. The process in which the gene is injected into fertilized eggs or embryos which are then used for production of transgenic organism is called gene manipulation. A gene library is a collection of the total genomic DNA from a single organism. Transgenesis is a process of introducing foreign DNA into the organism which will be then inherited. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
