*Cloning could result in the mass production of genetically modified cattle that secret valuable drug into their milk.

*

*For eg. Milk that has the human clotting factor IX can treat people with hemophilia; milk with insulin to treat people with Diabetes and also interferon to treat people with viral infections.

*Transgenic animals (animals engineered to carry genes from species other than their own) can be made to produce a wide variety of proteins that could be sold as drugs or proteins. Cloning can make creation of transgenic animals to be mass-produced. Large numbers of transgenic animals could produce vast quantities of needed drugs and other useful substances more efficiently and at a much lower cost.

What do you find interesting about biotechnology?

Just read about cloning of a gene, and think about its application in the medicine, you be astonished!


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.


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.


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?

True or false gene cloning is an efficient means of producing large numbers of genes?

True, gene cloning, is an efficient way of producing large numbers a gene. These genes can be cloned repeatedly, at a rather as a rather efficient means.
