4. • Identification and isolation of the desired gene or DNA
• Fragmentation with restriction enzyme
• Isolation of plasmids and it’s fragmentation
• Incorporation of DNA into plasmids
• Use of DNA ligase to form bonds
• Incorporation of plasmids into host cells
• Growth of transgene
• Identification and isolation of desired gene
DNA recombinant technologyDNA recombinant technology
Joining together of DNA molecules from two different
species that are inserted into a host organism to produce
new genetic combinations that are of value to science,
medicine, agriculture, and industry.

7. CLONINGCLONING
•Cloning is
• the process of producing populations of genetically-
identical individuals
•refers to processes used to create copies of DNA
fragments, cells or organisms.
•creation of an organism that is an exact genetic
copy of another.

10. Human CloningHuman Cloning
• Cloning can be also performed in human
beings. There are 3 types of cloning namely;
cloning
Therapeutic
cloning use cloning
cells from an adult
for use in medicine
and is an active
area of research
replacement cloning
is a theoretical
possibility, and would
be a combination of
therapeutic and
reproductive cloning.reproductive cloning
would involve
making cloned
human beings.
