Cosmids allow you to insert DNA sequences (genes) into the genome of a bacteria, much like a plasmid. Cosmids in recombinant DNA technology, however, utilize phage (bacterial viruses) to enable researchers to insert DNA sequences of genes with up to 44,000 base pairs, while normal plasmids are only able to efficiently carry 10,000 base pairs. This allows researchers to insert more complex genes into bacteria as well as increases the efficiency with which researchers can make genomic libraries of more complex organisms.

The role of restriction enzymes in DNA technology is to?
Produce a cut (usually staggered) at a specific recognition sequences on DNA.
Explain the role of klenow fragment in recombinant DNA technology?
single strand to double strand
What is the difference between cosmid and plasmid?
cosmids can accept insert fragments of DNA from 30-50 kilobases but plasmids can only accept inserts that are up to 15kb only.
When did DNA Plant Technology end?
DNA Plant Technology ended in 2002.
What is the role of Cloning Host in recombinant DNA technology?
The role of cloning host in RDT is to serve as the host cell under culture, in which the designed gene is subjected to produce recombinant protein.
Circular DNA molecule that is not part of the chromosome in bacterial cells?
Those circular DNA molecules are called Plasmids.widely used in Recombinent DNA Technology

What is used to make many copies of DNA?
Recombinant DNA technology PCR
What used to copy DNA?
Recombinant DNA technology
How the structure of DNA aids in each role?
DNA has a role in defining characteristics of the subject which it is taken from.
How does DNA technology transfer bacteria genes from cell to cell?
DNA technology will transfer bacteria genes from cell to cell.
