Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The production of multiple identical copies of a target sequence of DNA is known as DNA cloning, which involves the isolation of a specific DNA fragment and its subsequent replication through the use of a host organism, such as E. coli bacteria, to generate millions of copies of that fragment. Gene cloning and genetic engineering are related terms that encompass a broader range of techniques and applications beyond just the production of DNA copies. DNA technology is a general term that describes any set of techniques used to study, manipulate, or analyze DNA molecules.
