What is the basis of genetic engineering?

Answer»

The basis of genetic engineering is the discovery of the fact that genes can be cut and joined.

  • Restriction Endonuclease: The enzyme used to cut DNA at specific sites. This enzyme is known as genetic scissors.
  • Liqase: The enzyme ligase is used for joining DNA at specific sites, this enzyme is called as genetic glue.
  • Vectors: Plasmids in bacteria are generally used as vectors. A gene from one cell is transferred to another cell by using suitable vectors.
