Biotechnology Practice Test on Genetic Engineering (Recombinant DNA Technology)

biotech
Genetic engineering is the technology involved in synthesis of artificial genes, repair of genes through fusion, inversion, deletion, shifting of genes, products of recombinant DNA and manipulating them for improvement in human beings, plants, animals and microbes. recombinant DNA technology is employed for combining DNA from two different organisms to produce recombinant DNA.
