Scientists are using biogenetics to improve our health and how we live our lives. Biogenetics have given birth to a new type of science called...
Gene Cloning - If a gene from humans is placed in bacteria, it does not produce any protein or multiply, as bacteria does not recognize the gene as a gene. For the recognition and multiplication of the gene it has to carry some identification sequences or replicons. Such replicons are known as vectors...
