In this article we will discuss about the Multiplication of Host Cell and Cloning of Genes. Introduction to Multiplication of Host Cell and Cloning of Genes: The host cell containing foreign DNA in addition to its own DNA is allowed to multiply forming a clone having millions of identical cells. Each member of the clone contains in addition to its [...]
