MCQ on Cloning: Gene cloning is a molecular biology technique used to create identical copies of a specific gene. It involves isolating a gene of interest and inserting it into a vector, typically a plasmid, which is a small circular DNA molecule found in bacteria. This recombinant DNA is then introduced into a host organism, usually bacteria, where it can replicate, producing many copies of the gene.
The process has several steps: (1) isolating the gene, (2) inserting it into a vector, (3) introducing the vector into host cells, and (4) selecting and growing the cells that have successfully incorporated the gene. Cloned genes can be used for various purposes, including research, the production of proteins (e.g., insulin), and the development of genetically modified organisms. Gene cloning is a fundamental tool in genetic engineering, allowing scientists to study genes, understand genetic diseases, and develop new therapies. This is an MCQ on Cloning of Genes with answers.
