Question
Chapter 16, Problem 34E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The isolation of a particular gene or a set of genes is to be described.
Concept Introduction:
DNA contains the genetic material of living organisms. The DNA from two different organisms can be combined to form a new DNA, which is called recombinant DNA.
By carefully choosing the type of DNA transferred, the characteristics of the organism can be engineered.
