What are the Applications of Recombinant DNA Technology?
Recombinant DNA technology has numerous applications in various fields:
Genetic Engineering: Creating genetically modified organisms (GMOs) for agriculture, such as pest-resistant crops. Gene Therapy: Treating genetic disorders by inserting functional genes into patients' cells. Pharmaceutical Production: Producing proteins, such as insulin, for medical use. Forensic Science: Identifying individuals based on their genetic makeup.
