Many different fragments of DNA from an oak tree genome are inserted into a plasmid vector, which is then taken up by bacteria that copy the inserted DNA every time they reproduce. This procedure is known as

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The described procedure involves the insertion of fragments of DNA from an organism's genome into a vector that can be propagated in a host organism (in this case, bacteria), resulting in a library of cloned DNA fragments. Therefore, this is the process of constructing a DNA library. DNA probing involves the hybridization of labeled DNA probes with DNA samples to locate specific sequences, DNA fingerprinting involves the analysis of individual's unique DNA profiles, and PCR is a technique used to amplify specific DNA sequences.
