D) ligating.
E) inducing.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cloning is the process of producing multiple copies of a gene using recombinant DNA technology. Recombinant DNA technology involves taking a gene of interest and inserting it into a vector, such as a plasmid, which can then be introduced into a host cell for replication. The resulting cells, containing copies of the gene of interest, can then be used for further study or application. Transfection refers to the process of introducing foreign DNA into cells, restriction involves cutting DNA at specific sites, ligating involves connecting or joining DNA fragments, and inducing refers to stimulating or activating a biological process or response.
