RECOMBINANT DNA

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cell that receive recombinant DNA for cloning purpose
A
Host cell
B
plasmid
C
DNA target
D
Gene of interest
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cell which receives a recombinant gene is called as Recombinant cell. This cell will have the unique properties due to the insertion of a new recombinant gene.

Detailed explanation-2: -The majority of molecular cloning experiments begin with a laboratory strain of the bacterium E. coli (Escherichia coli) as the host.

Detailed explanation-3: -Recombinant DNA technology is the joining together of DNA molecules from two different species. The recombined DNA molecule is inserted into a host organism to produce new genetic combinations that are of value to science, medicine, agriculture, and industry.

Detailed explanation-4: -In reproductive cloning, researchers remove a mature somatic cell, such as a skin cell, from an animal that they wish to copy. They then transfer the DNA of the donor animal’s somatic cell into an egg cell, or oocyte, that has had its own DNA-containing nucleus removed.
