Which of the Following Techniques Allow Researchers to Isolate and Characterize

Question

Which of the following techniques allow researchers to isolate and characterize DNA sequences?
A) Recombinant DNA techniques
B) Gene cloning
C) DNA amplification
D) Gene cloning and DNA amplification
E) All of these

Accepted Answer

All the techniques listed (recombinant DNA techniques, gene cloning, and DNA amplification) allow researchers to isolate and characterize DNA sequences. Recombinant DNA techniques involve the combination of DNA sequences from different sources to create a new DNA molecule, gene cloning is used to make multiple copies of a specific DNA sequence, and DNA amplification allows for the amplification of small amounts of DNA into millions of copies.
