Detailed explanation-1: -Common forms of DNA technology include DNA sequencing, polymerase chain reaction, DNA cloning, and gel electrophoresis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Genetic engineering (also called genetic modification) is a process that uses laboratory-based technologies to alter the DNA makeup of an organism. This may involve changing a single base pair (A-T or C-G), deleting a region of DNA or adding a new segment of DNA.
Detailed explanation-3: -DNA fingerprinting is a technique used in biotechnology laboratories to establish links between various samples of DNA. These samples would likely be taken from several different sources and compared to see if – or how well – they match.
Detailed explanation-4: -Recombinant DNA technology involves using enzymes and various laboratory techniques to manipulate and isolate DNA segments of interest. This method can be used to combine (or splice) DNA from different species or to create genes with new functions. The resulting copies are often referred to as recombinant DNA.
