Gene can be synthesized in laboratory from messenger RNA by using:
- A
Restriction enzymes
- B
cDNA (complementary DNA)
- C
Vector
- D
Reverse transcriptase
[A] Restriction enzymes recognize a specific sequence of nucleotides in double stranded DNA and cut the DNA at a specific location
[B] CDNA is incorrect as it is generated using reverse transcriptase.
[C] Vector is the molecule that carries the recombinant DNA and this DNA is introduced into host for gene expression
[D] Reverse transcriptase is an enzyme used to generate complementary DNA[cDNA] from an RNA template.
