B determining which of a group of bacteria are most closely related.
Recombinant DNA techniques are used to custom –build bacteria for two main reasons: to make a multiple copies of desired genes and to obtain useful proteins. Give an example of each of these applications in the field of pharmaceutical, medicine and agriculture.
describe how the bacteria should have the ability to be recovered back from the infected host for the purpose of experimentation including sequencing ,vitro culturing and polymerase chain reaction amplification.
