What is the importance of recombinant DNA technology?

Answer 1

Recombination DNA technology helps in producing large amounts of biological products which are safe and also efficient in their function.

recombinant DNA technology takes DNA from one organism and uses another organism to replicate or express the original DNA. A lot of biological therapeutics utilize this type of technology to produce protein therapies for the use of cancer and other disease treatments.

Answer 2

DNA is genetic material. It is what controls the cells functions.

Scientists have only begin to understand the ways in which DNA can be manipulated in order to get organisms to have altered functions.

It has been fond that by engineering genes into genomes of different species, there could be breakthroughs in agriculture and medicine.

Understanding the DNA of rice could help scientists devise a species that is resistant to infection and harsh weather conditions. It could also help researchers to develop crop plants that are able to withstand mild drought conditions.

Understanding the DNA of bacteria can help researchers develop better antibiotics and vaccines.

There is a vast field called DNA science that deals with these issues. It is a practically limitless area of investigation. New information in being obtained everyday about the functioning of genomes.

Therefore, studying genomes and DNA has immense potential in science and industry

Answer 3

Medical uses include producing insulin, vaccines, and human growth hormone. In agriculture it can be used to grow bigger, healthier plant and animals (drought and virus resistance for plants and growth hormone can be put into animals to make them grow bigger). However, sometimes the addition of a new gene can cause ill-desired changes in other gene expressions.

Answer 4

Recombinant DNA technology-Great thing..Though technology misuse and abuse is a different thing altogether, I would always be in support of Recombinant DNA technology when it comes to the pharmacological and physiological help it provides namely,

Human insulin

Human growth factor

beta interferon

hepatitis-B vaccine recombinant.

These are few of the Biotechnology products that are being used(as DRUGS) and all beneficial to us human beings.

DRUGS here meaning medicaments.

Answer 5

SCIENCE
