How can biotechnology and DNA technology be applied? Please provide examples and explain why.
What is the importance of restriction enzymes?
Solution
Ans-Biotechnology also called the genetic engineering or DNA technology which is the most significant technology used in the gene sequencing, due to which genes are present in an organism cells changed during the process and DNA of the organism is recombined.
In recombinant DNA technology inserting genes into the organism genomes can produce the different kind of proteins .one important micro-organism Ecoli widely used in the DNA recombinant technology.gene of interest or segment of DNA can be inserted into the bacteria and can produced the desired protein.
techniques of genetic engineering in humans include the following:-
Genetically modified products-fruits,vegetables,microbes ,animals and crops.
treatment of different deseases-Interferon. Treatment for cancer and viral infections,Cancer treatment, immune deficiency, and HIV infection treatment
transgenic plants-Ti plasmids DNA recombinant technology used to improving crop resistance to insects and pesticides etc.
restriction enzyme-is used for the cut the DNA at specific pints and make DNA into small fragments also called the restriction nuclease enzyme.Major role of the restriction enzyme is to cut the polynucleotide chain in a specific sites which makes sticky ends.(smll chain or stretch of single stranded DNA)
