Class 12 Biology - Chapter Biotechnology and its Application NCERT Solutions | Diagrammatically represent the experimen
Diagrammatically represent the experimental steps in cloning and expressing an human gene (say the gene for growth hormone) into a bacterium like E. coli ?
DNA cloning is a method of producing multiple identical copies of specific template DNA. It involves the use of a vector to carry the specific foreign DNA fragment into the host cell. The mechanism of cloning and transfer of gene for growth hormone intoE.coli is represented below.
