Mention the important tools required for genetic engineering technology?
The process of genetic engineering is accomplished only when we have the following key tools: a) Restriction Enzymes: In genetic engineering, restriction Enzymes are the enzymes that are responsible for the digestion of DNA strands resulting in the formation of fragments, thus they are called molecular scissors. They are of types: Endonucleases and Exonucleases. b) Cloning Vector: The cloning Vector is the part of the DNA molecule that is attached to the DNA Segment of an organism that is desired and then transfers into the cell or DNA of another organism. c) Desired Foreign DNA: The desired foreign DNA segment is the part of DNA that consists of genes having desired characters that are being transferred into the genome of another cell with the help of the cloning vector.
