What are knockout mutations?
Deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA is a molecule that contains the genetic code of the organisms. DNA cloning is the recombinant DNA technology that uses the principle of ‘cut and paste’ mechanism of molecular cloning mechanism. Cloning is a technique that produces many identical copies of DNA. It is thus referred to as “manipulation of genes”. Genetic engineering also known as genetic modification involves the transfer of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from one organism to another. A vector is used to transfer a gene into the host by which cloning is done. Gene cloning involves using a bacteria to make the multiple copies of genes with the help of cloning vectors. DNA clones are used to find genes, map genes and transfer them between species. Cloning technology is used to find carriers of genetic disorders, perform gene therapy, and create disease-resistant plants.
