Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Complementary DNA (cDNA) corresponds to the coding sequence of a gene, obtained from transcription and reverse transcription. cDNA is not present in the genome of an organism, therefore, it can be patented. However, since cDNA does not include introns, it is not representative of the entire gene.
