binant DNA Technology At its core, recombinant DNA technology involves several fundamental steps: Isolation of DNA: Extracting the DNA strand from an organism. 1. Cutting DNA: Using restriction enzymes to cut DNA at specific sequences. 2. Inserting DNA: Joining DNA fragments from different s

of the fundamental breakthroughs in genetic engineering was the discovery of restriction enzymes (restriction endonucleases). These enzymes act like molecular scissors, cutting DNA at specific sequences.

A strands unwind, exposing the coding region. Elongation RNA polymerase moves along the DNA, synthesizing the mRNA strand by adding complementary nucleotides. The base pairing rules are: Adenine (A) pairs with Uracil (U) in RNA (instead of Thymine in DNA). Cytosine (C) pairs with Guanine (G). Guanin
