If antibiotic resistance is added to the gene being cloned, antibiotics can be used to isolate the transformed bacteria (ones with the gene being cloned) by killing off all non-transformed bacteria, that don't have the antibiotic resistance.
There is a chance that the non-transformed bacteria can mutate to develop antibiotic resistance.

Definition of gene cloning?
Gene cloning is the replication of DNA fragments by the use of a self-replicating genetic material. Unlike reproductive cloning, which replicates an entire organism, gene cloning duplicates only individual genes of an organism's DNA.
What is gene cloning and gene modification?
Gene cloning is when you take the entire genetic profile to create a copy of the donor of the genes. Gene modification is when you change a persons genes, in a way to change the outcome of how the baby will look, act, her/his personality and a lot more. In this case, gene cloning would come under the category of gene manipulation.
The process of using plasmids gene cloning?
That's right! :P
Where is the multiple cloning site present in pUC 18?
It is within the LacZ' gene.
How does gene cloning differ from animal cloning?
Cloning - Is copying an animals DNA, it is the exact animal replica. Selectively breeding - Breeding animals with the features and characteristics that the breeder wants.

Why is cloning an example of cloning?
Gene Cloning is used to clone a gene of interest in a vector called plasmid. The chimeric DNA or rDNA formed by cloning is stable and can be used to propagate and sequence the DNA. producing vector containing inulin gene is an example.
What is gene cloning?
The production of multiple copies of a single gene.
What does DNA isolation used for?
Gene sequencing and gene cloning
How can you prove that gene cloning is complete?
You can prove gene closing is complete by comparing the cloned genes to the original. If any differences are present, the cloning process was not successful.
Gene cloning can involve inserting genes into?
bacteria
What is the difference between cloning and expression vectors?
Cloning vectors are used to increase the number of copies of the cloned gene or to amplify a foreign gene. Expression vectors are used to increase the expression of the foreign gene product.
Does a cloning vector contain promoter region?
No, not really since it is just for cloning. But their should be enough promoter/sequence to provide antibiotic resistance.
What type of gene is used to distinguish bacteria that carry a plasmid containing foreign DNA from those that don' t?
The plasmid that contains foreign DNA is engineered to also carry an antibiotic resistance gene. This antibiotic resistance gene codes for a protein that is able to inactivate an antibiotic thus keeping the cell alive. In the absence of the antibiotic resistance gene, the cells would not survive when exposed to an antibiotic. After transfection (the process of inserting the plasmid carrying the foreign gene into cells), the cells are gown in media containing an antibiotic. Cells that contain the plasmid (and therefore contain the antibiotic resistance gene) are able to survive in this medium. Cells that do not contain the plasmid (and therefore lack the antibiotic resistance gene) do not survive in this medium. The process described above is called selection
Difference between cloning and gene transfer?
genetransferring is an engineering process where as cloning does not need genetical engineering whole
Cloning is a process by which?
separet the gene and make another one?
What are two copies of a gene called?
its called cloning!
