Video transcript

Hello, everyone and welcome to today's video. So identify the function of vectors in recombinant DNA or, or DNA technology. Well, remember that a vector such as a plasmid, it's going to be something where we introduce the DNA into and then we use it to transport it into the cell. So if it acts as a type of messenger that brings the plasmid or it brings the DNA inside of the cell in order for it to enter recoin and technology. Because of this, the correct answer choice here is going to be answer choice. The introduction of new genetic material into a host organism by acting as a type of messenger. I really hope this video helped you and I hope to see you on the next one.

Textbook Question

In this chapter, we focused on a number of interesting applications of genetic engineering, genomics, and biotechnology. At the same time, we found many opportunities to consider the methods and reasoning by which much of this information was acquired. From the explanations given in the chapter, what answers would you propose to the following fundamental questions?

What experimental evidence confirms that we have introduced a useful gene into a transgenic organism and that it performs as we anticipate?
