... 'The use of recombinant DNA technology can only benefit humans' Recombinant DNA technology is the combining of the DNA from one organism with DNA from another organism. There are many steps in creating recombinant DNA. It begins with the isolation of a gene of interest. This gene is cut using restriction enzyme which will cut the gene in a particular place. A vector is taken and cut open with the same restriction enzyme as the gene was cut with. A vector is a piece of DNA that is capable of growth. Common vectors are of that of a bacterial plasmid. Once vector and gene have been cut they are joined at their sticky ends by using DNA ligase. The viruses and transgenic bacteria used as vectors in the recombinant DNA technology could undergo mutilation which could produce a new pathogen which we won't be able to control.
