The autocatalytic function is the capacity of DNA to make a copy of itself. This capacity is known as replication. Watson and Crick proposed a mechanism of replication on the basis of its double helical structure. According to them, the two strands were capable of unwinding and separating and acting as templates during the synthesis […]

Methods of introducing foreign genes in cell are: 1. Electroporation 2. Particle Bombardment Gun 3. Microinjection. Method # 1. Electroporation: In this method an electric field is used to transfer the foreign DNA into the fragile cells. High voltage electricity is applied to the protoplast suspension containing recombinant or naked plasmids. The electrical impulse creates […]
