  • Gene cloning refers to a process in which a gene of interest is ligated to a vector(plasmid). There recombinant DNA thus produced is introduced into a host cell(different organism)through transformation. Each cell gets one DNA molecule and when the transformed cell grows through a bacterial colony, each cell in the colony has a copy of the gene. This is called gene cloning.
  • Hence Gene cloning is Gene is isolated and inserted in different organism.
