List 3 benefits of genetic engineering

The first step in rDNA technology is

• Isolation of gene of interest

• Transformation

• Identification and Isolation of donor gene

• Selection of donor gene

It is the process of introducing recombinant vector into a suitable host like bacterium. The process is called

• Conjugation

• Transformation

• Transduction

• Incorporation

These are processes that lead to the formation of protein product encoded by the gene of interest.

• Replication and transcription

• Transcription and translation

• Transcription and Transformation

• Replication and Transformation
