Recombinant DNA Technology

What is recombinant DNA technology?

• A tool for modifying and manipulating the genetic material of living organisms

• A technique for growing plants without soil

• A method for producing synthetic proteins

• A type of microscopy used to visualize DNA molecules

What are restriction enzymes?

• Enzymes that cut DNA at specific locations

• Enzymes that join DNA molecules together

• Enzymes that replicate DNA

• Enzymes that transcribe DNA into RNA

What is the most well-known application of recombinant DNA technology?

What are some ethical concerns associated with recombinant DNA technology?

• The creation of genetically modified organisms and their potential risks

• The high cost of producing recombinant DNA molecules

• The potential for recombinant DNA technology to be used for nefarious purposes

• The difficulty of controlling the expression of recombinant DNA in living organisms

5. What is gene therapy?

• The introduction of new or modified genes into a patient's cells to treat genetic disorders

• The process of extracting DNA from a patient's cells and modifying it in a laboratory

• The use of recombinant DNA technology to produce synthetic proteins

• The application of CRISPR/Cas9 technology to edit genes in living organisms
