Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which biotechnology is used to make exact DNA copies of an organism?
A
Gel electrophoresis
B
Genetic Engineering
C
Inbreeding
D
Cloning
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -DNA cloning either through the use of cloning vectors or the polymerase chain reaction, whereby a single DNA molecule can be copied to generate many billions of identical molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -By definition, the general term “cloning” means obtaining multiples copies of something, let it be individuals of an animal species, or molecules. DNA cloning is a Molecular Biology technique that allows us to get multiple copies of identical sequence-specific double-stranded DNA fragments, for various purposes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) makes many copies of a gene or other DNA segment.

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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Abstract. Molecular cloning is the collection of experimental procedures required to isolate and expand a specific fragment of DNA into a host organism in order to create a large number of identical copies.
