DNA MAKES RNA MAKES PROTEIN

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Recombinant DNA objective is ____
A
To give a new characteristic
B
To eliminate a characteristic
C
To give a manipuation
D
To eliminate a protein
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Recombinant DNA technology comprises altering genetic material outside an organism to obtain enhanced and desired characteristics in living organisms or as their products. This technology involves the insertion of DNA fragments from a variety of sources, having a desirable gene sequence via appropriate vector [12].

Detailed explanation-2: -Recombinant DNA technology is an extremely important research tool in biology. It allows scientists to manipulate DNA fragments in order to study them in the lab. It involves using a variety of laboratory methods to put a piece of DNA into a bacterial or yeast cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is recombinant in the sense that it is composed of DNA from two different sources. Thus, it is a type of DNA that would be impossible naturally and is an artifact created by DNA technology. The next step in the cloning process is to cut the vector with the same restriction enzyme used to cut the donor DNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -Goals of rDNA Technology Desired modification in isolated genes. Artificial synthesis of new genes. Modification of organisms’ genome.

Detailed explanation-5: -Recombinant DNA, which is often shortened to rDNA, is an artificially made DNA strand that is formed by the combination of two or more gene sequences. This new combination may or may not occur naturally, but is engineered specifically for a purpose to be used in one of the many applications of recombinant DNA.
