    PCR can be used to detect COVID infections by amplifying the virus's genetic material in patient samples. Cloning and expressing genes allows for large-scale production of important proteins like insulin, which is cloned in bacteria to treat diabetes. Taking a gene from one organism and placing it in another allows the new host to mass produce the desired protein.

    Lesson 2: Discuss the Applications of Recombinant DNA

    What’s I’ve learned: Page 21


    POST QUIZ: 5 points each
    1. Discuss how PCR may be used for the detection of disease-causing pathogens in a
    population during
    the COVID Pandemic.
    For example: it may be used to check if a patient has a COVID virus infection.

    2. Discuss how the cloning and expression of certain genes allows for massive production
    of the
    desired product.
    For Example: the cloning and expression of insulin in bacteria allows for the mass
    production of this necessary protein for use by diabetic patients.
