PART TWO: DNA TECHNOLOGIES:

The DNA technology I chose is Recombinant DNA Technology; It is a method in which the chosen DNA of one organism (Donor) is introduced to combine with the DNA of another organism termed as recipient organism. The result of it is that, the recipient organism acquires the genetic abilities of the donor. Altering the genome of an organism through introducing genes of interest is termed as gene manipulation or DNA recombinant technology. According to this mechanism has the capability to engineer new organisms, it is termed as genetic engineering. The reason I picked this is because I am Diabetic and found it interesting how they make insulin using recombinant DNA. When they first started making insulin they used animal DNA such as pigs but now it made using human DNA.

 As the illustration below shows the process of recombinant DNA, The DNA of the donor organism and the gene of interest is isolated and cut into fragments through using restriction endoclease. The fragments of the vector DNA and the fragments of the donor DNA are combined into DNA ligase which. Then it becomes the Recombinant DNA (rDNA). The introduction of the rDNA into the E Coli causes a multiplication of rDNA after this it creates multiplication of identical copies of rDNA.
