GENES
-A sequence of DNA on
a chromosome that
codes for a specific trait
or one protein.
- The process by which genes
from one organism is
transferred into other organism
of an entirely different species.
The modification of an
organism's genetic composition
by artificial means, involving
the transfer of specific traits or
genes from one organism to
another
1. Polymerase Chain
Reaction
2. Restriction Enzyme
3. Gel Electrophoresis
4. DNA Ligase
13
Polymerase Chain Reaction

- An efficient technique
for multiplying the
number of DNA
exponentially for 25 to
75 cycles. 14
Polymerase Chain Reaction

-it us used in molecular


biology to amplify a single
copy or a few copies of a
segment of DNA across
several orders of
magnitude. 15
Restriction Enzymes

- Enzymes that create one


incision on each of the
two strands of DNA at
specific location based on
the nucleotide sequence.
17
Gel Electrophoresis

- It is used from viewing


cut DNA to detecting DNA
inserts and knockouts.
19
Gel Electrophoresis
- It is used to estimate the
molecular weight of protein and
nucleic acids, purification of
isolated proteins, monitoring
changes of protein content in
body fluid ,and blotting
application. 20
DNA Ligase

- Enzymes that can create


covalent bond between
nucleotide chain.
22
Gene Cloning

-a mechanism by which each


time the host cell reproduces;
several copies of a particular
gene are produced wherein it
is possible to clone the whole
species. 25
Nuclear Cloning

- The introduction of the


nucleus from a cell into an
enucleated egg cell.

PROCESSES OF
GENE CLONING
1. ISOLATION OF
VECTOR AND
GENE-SOURCE DNA
2. INSERTION OF
DNA INTO THE

4. CLONING OF
CELLS
5. IDENTIFYING CELL
CLONES WITH THE
RIGHT GENE
PROCESSES IN
