Question
Chapter 21, Problem 6EQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The recombinant vector as well asits construction and detection using X-Gal (5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-beta-d-galactoside).
Introduction:
The production of several copies of agene within a foreign vector is called gene cloning. This involves the incorporation of the gene into the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) of the host cell. This gene is then replicated within the host cell using the polymerase enzyme.
